Busy Moms: Finding Time for God

Mom life- it's beautiful, it's fun, and it's chaos! Sometimes we don't even have time to try to find time! I remember bragging to a friend about my morning routine of reading my bible and spending time with God before even jumping out of bed- mind you I had 2 older girls and had completely forgotten what it was like. My girlfriend with 3 small girls was probably thinking things she was too nice to share. But don't worry, it hit me when I added a bouncing baby boy into the mix just a couple years later!

Let's just say I've had my fair share of humble pie. Turns out that even the most well-intentioned plans for spiritual growth can be tossed out the window amidst the constant diaper changes and sleepless nights.

Finding any moment to connect with my Creator became like searching for unicorns! Here's the twist... I realized that making those moments a priority was more crucial than ever. I found myself disconnected, drained, and just in plain need of Jesus.

So, I got creative! I couldn't make more time but I started praying everywhere- in my car on the way to work, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, walking my dog- you name it. And once my little guy was peacefully snoring, I would grab my Bible and read what I could keep my eyes open for- sometimes I was so tired it was just a verse or two. But it made a huge difference.

These days my life is quiet with just one 10 year old boy at home now.... I have my mornings back- but I still pray everywhere I go. It's a great habit- keeps me centered with Christ all day long.

So empty your cup, fill your spirit-even if it’s just before the midnight hour... and realize that every moment counts.
