Kristin left me a funny voice mail a couple weeks ago. She was driving on one of the many (fun!) loops in Phoenix & saw this sight...two girls with car trouble who were laying out on the hood of their car while waiting for rescue...as Kristin said "only in Arizona!"
Sarah's entry from July 1st starts out with this word-picture: "I am Life and Light in abundance. As you spend time 'soaking' in My Presence, you are energized & lightened." By spending time with the Lord, we are transferring our heavy burdens to His broad, strong shoulders. And, as is only logical, getting rid of heavy burdens makes us energized & lightened.
But, here's the deal. We have to be willing to fight for this time with our Lord. Wouldn't you think that something that makes us feel so great would be a top priority? But, no...life gets in the way! Sportscenter! Facebook! Emails! That huge stack of unsorted mail! Surfing the net!
I think (for me, anyway) the best and most logical time to put down my burdens & soak up the Son is in the morning...before I starting screwing things up!
Please, Lord, help me to put you first every morning of every day.
Amen
Love you all!
