Put God First and Keep Him First
On October 12, 2022, I began dedicating the first 30-45 minutes of my day to God. As soon as I opened my eyes, I would express my gratitude for life, love, peace and grace. Then, I would recite a few personal prayers I had written down. Lastly, I would listen to or read something inspirational. This had/has been my daily routine for a year. At least, that was my intention.
Well, over time I noticed that the time I spent with God slowly decreased. I found myself making compromises by spreading parts of my morning routine throughout my day. However, I was already doing this—watching inspirational videos and praying throughout the day—so it wasn’t like I was adding more to it. You see how I tried to justify my actions for taking away that first 30-45 minutes? Funny, but definitely not funny. That time I had dedicated to God was and is so important.
It wasn’t until a couple of hour ago that I realized that I had skipped that time all together. I said a few words of gratitude when I woke up, but that was it. I felt terrible when I finally realized what I had done. This didn’t happen all of a sudden. As I mentioned earlier, it happened over time. Every time I decided something was a little more important or I could just do it another time, the less time I actually spent with God.
After realizing what I had done this morning, I immediately stopped what I was doing and acknowledged Him.
Question: Have you ever found yourself too busy to spend quality time with God? Be honest.
Y’all, I just had an “Aha” moment. Quality time… Not just any old time, but quality time. Yesterday, I wrote that quality time was my primary love language, yet I have not been spending quality time with God. What was supposed to be quality had become a true routine, almost task like.
It’s time that I get back on track. I cannot afford to lose this relationship I have built with God. It’s too important. If you have found yourself putting your relationship with God second, third or last, I encourage and challenge you to change that immediately. Your relationship with God is vital!
Love you!♥️

Praying
There’s so much going on right now. So much chaos. Sadly, so many are facing situations where they are surrounded by chaos and distress, and they feel like there is no escape. I’m praying that God gives them a sense of peace. Praying for their protection. And above all, praying that God intervenes soon.
Here’s my Facebook memory from last year. I realize that it may be difficult not to let what’s happening around you affect you; however, do all you can to stay afloat.
Facebook Memory: October 13, 2022
They say it’s not the water around the boat that sinks it, but the water that gets inside. My prayer for you today is that the water – drama, chaos, dysfunction, bad vibes – remains outside your boat.
Praying you have a blessed day and weekend. May God comfort you and surround you with peace, even in the midst of chaos. I know that He’s able.
Love you!♥️

My Heart is Full
Today has already been a pretty amazing day. My daughter decided to take this morning off and spend it with me. We talked and reminisced about how much our lives (mostly mine) have changed over the years. I cannot say it enough, God is so good.
By the way, my top two love languages are quality time and words of affirmation. Most of the time we associate love languages with romantic relationships. At least I always have. And I know I’m not the one! Well, today God showed me that what I have been longing for I already have. I have it in my two. He blessed me with two beautiful souls who provide me with both. Smiling. My heart is full.♥️
Sooo… Should I count this as another level of freedom? If not, it’s definitely another level of awareness. I’m really beginning to love Year50.

Be Encouraged: God is Working
William Becton’s song, “Be Encouraged,” says:
I know right now it's impossible to see,
But God is gonna work it out if you just believe.
Remember this one thing while you're going through,
If God delivered Daniel, He'll do the same for you.
Be encouraged no matter what's going on,
He'll make it alright,
But you gotta stay strong.
