i was reading My Utmost for His Highest on Monday and was challenged about my spiritual habits. i'm not talking about disciplines, i'm talking about human habits we make for ourselves. like 'don't disturb me with your ministry need now, this is my prayer time' or 'God can only speak to me during my quiet time which is on the flowered couch in my living room.'
"Jesus was at home with God anywhere. Is there anywhere where you are not at home with God?" i just prayed that God would give me ears to hear Him anywhere, specifically while i'm reading through the Bible with my girls each day. in school we are reading through the Bible in a year, old testament passages in the morning and new testament in the afternoon. there is also a little story that goes along with one of the verses.
so i'm just praying that i would be at home with God and that He would speak to me every day as we are reading and that i can share that with the girls.
i have such a sweet opportunity for discipleship. i NEVER thought i would find a job that included speaking truth into people's lives and encouraging them in their walks' with Christ. i mean, i asked for that kind of job...so i shouldn't be surprised but i still am.

Oh, Sweet Angela. You have so much wisdom to impart! Of course Jesus was going to give you a job to use the amazing gift He gave you!
Thanks for sharing this. I find myself doing the same thing, getting mad at Mali or Eric for interrupting my quiet time!:) I'm so excited that your job is great and so impacting for eternal purposes!
