I am loved by my Savior!

I had to take time off from blogging because it was getting in the way of my family life and quiet time with God.  I was getting so wrapped up in "the will of God" that I was loosing sight of just being with Him.  Being able to pray to my Savior and feel His love surround me is a feeling that I crave.  Yes, I want to dive into all the different aspects of being a Follower of Christ.  But I need Him as my friend more.  I need to take the time out of everything else and focus completely on praising Him, thanking and acknowledging Him for all my blessings and reading about all He has done for me on the cross.

"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

Christ loves us.  What more do we need in this life?  Do I REALLY need to be a biblical scholler to be a Christ follower?  Do I need to know the bible backwards and forwards?  Or can I just stop and feel loved by my Savior? 

This next week is going to be hectic.  My 2 older children are starting school and my church is hosting the Global Leadership Summit on telecast.  We can get wrapped up in just making sure we are spending our required 10 minutes a day in prayer and reading the bible, not retaining any of it and go on to the more "important things". 

I pray that this week, BECAUSE it is hectic, I spend more time in the word, more time celebrating the blessings that God has given me and remember to show Christ's love to others.

My Fun Parents and Siblings

Lord God, I want to thank you for my beautiful family.  That I live in an amazing town with amazing friends and family there.  That I have an incredible church filled with Christians who know what it means to walk with You daily.  I pray that you strengthen their walk with You and show them your unconditional love this week.  Amen.
