Daily learning to fly....

So much to do.....so little time? I definitely have a full schedule. School, work, accountabililty stuff, church (so many areas of church pull me many ways), friends, family, and I would even count TV. I know TV doesnt seem like something people put on there to do list....but even if I left it off....it is something I do often. I feel like my days go by so fast....that when I have down time I dont know what to do. I think that is where TV comes in. Now, I dont watch as much as I did a couple months ago....but I think that is because my schedule is more full. I have come up with things to do instead of watching TV. But I do like TV. The issue that I am finding though is.....I have things around the house and in my own personal life that I need to make time for. Organizing, excersizing and even sleep. And then there is the God-time. I know (through the words of the Holy Spirit to me lately) that the only way for me to have the special things in life for me....just for me.....is in making time for God. It is in moments with him that will change my heart and heal me. That is where I will be restored. This was majorly spoken to be on Wednesday night when I sang None But Jesus at Communion. I have sung that song quite a few times....but this week I felt like my eyes were opened a little bit more. It is in the quiet and in the stillness where I can remember HE IS GOD. My life is not quiet or still. I have moments of that....but not enough to truly remember he is God. I want more moments of that. I want to make more time for that. I have the time....(I think we all can find time somewhere....GET OFF MYSPACE hahaha!!...not judgement friends cause I just said I watch too much TV but I want more for your lives too)....I have the time....I just need to use it more wisely.

Help me Lord to do what my heart is asking. I want my life to be a life that has been lived to bring YOU praise. Forgive me for falling so short of that goal.....thank you for your Grace that helps me to keep pressing on to the prize.

In the quiet, in the stillness, I know that you are God.
In the secret of your presence, I know there I am restored.
So, when you call I wont refuse....each new day again I'll choose.
There is no one else for me....none but Jesus. Crucified to set me free,
now I live to bring him praise.
