Just got my oldest son off to school and thought I would attempt to post on my blog... My computer has been acting strange over the past several weeks and has not allowed me to do much of anything. When I get to the office I can never find time (or remember) to blog. We'll see how this morning goes...
There's really no way to try to catch up on what's been happening so I'll just share about today. It's been a good morning... in fact most every morning has been good. I get up early to get my oldest up & moving & ready for school. He and I have spend some quality time together during this time... On occasion my wife and I will switch and she'll let me sleep in a little and she'll get him off school. I am thankful for this alone time with my son.
It makes me wonder if God feels much the same way when I devote time to him... Is it hard for me to think that GOD would want time like this with me? It used to be. It seems that as my relationship with God has grown time like this just seems more natural. I actually believe that God is with me no matter where I go, or how I feel. What I have discovered with my son is that the more quality time I spend with him the more he and I both seem to want it... almost like we are drawn to one another (I love that feeling). This is so much the way I experience God as well.
In the book of Hebrews (in the Bible), chapter 10; verse 22 begins "...let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith,..." I have discovered that God is always near and ready to embrace me... I tend to be the one that pulls away.
How about that... My computer worked!
