Get Wrapped up in Him not It!

Okay, so honestly I have been lacking in my quiet time. I am definitely praying and talking with God constantly, but I have not set aside special time to just be with him lately. I miss it in more ways then one. Today I picked up a devotional book I have that I have not been in for a while and I noticed the day I left off on happened to be Peyton's birthday. I sat and read it, and it was great! I remember the day I read it last and how I used it to teach my children. It is so useful to us all... I wanted to share it:

This is from Jesus Calling by Sarah Young

(read this as though God was talking to you)

"Let me prepare you for the day that stretches out before you. I know exactly what this day will contain, whereas you have only vague ideas about it. You would like to see a map, showing all the twists and turns of your journey. You'd feel more prepared if you could somehow visualize what is on the road ahead. However, there is a better way to be prepared for whatever you will encounter today: Spend quality time with Me."

"I will not show you what is on the road ahead, but I will thoroughly equip you for the journey. My living Presence is your Companion each step of the way. Stay in continual communication with Me, whispering My Name whenever you need to redirect your thoughts. Thus, you can walk through this day with your focus on Me. My abiding Presence is the best road map available."
