Quiet Time With God

When do you take the time to do your daily lessons? I have heard so often the best time to study His is right in the morning,  but can't seem to make that work. I find the only thing that is good for me right in the morning is some time in prayer, but as far as devotions and Bible study goes, I just don't get as much out of it during that time. I use to feel guilty for that, especially after hearing testimonies of Christians who were so comitted to that. Now I decided, instead of feeling guilty, I will set a time that is right for the way I am and concentrate on what He teaches me not when I do my devotions. What are your (honest) thoughts?

Memory Verses

One of my goals is to memorize all the memory verses through this study this time. It's an area I struggle with or just don't take enough time for. When I try to get our kids to memorize scripture, I often feel bad because I don't do that enough myself. I may need accountability in this area now, so do ask me about it from time to time.
Memory Verse:
“Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, till He comes and rains righteousness on you.” Hosea 10:12

Beginning The Journey ~ 2011!

In November of 2008, I went through the Seeking Him study with a group of ladies and today in March of 2011 I started it again. I was just reading through our Introduction post from last time and I realized, I don't even remember writing any of that stuff. I think this will definately be good all over again and I am excited about it! Today was more of a look into what we will be getting into, so now let the seeking and digging begin!

 (From the book:)
" Are you tired of trying to be a good Christian? Are you overloaded and worn out with church activities? Do you sometimes feel like you are just going through the motions of the Christian life?Do you often find yourself running on empty spiritually? Do you experience heaviness or shame more than more than joy and freedom in your Christian life? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then perhaps God is calling you to something deeper. Maybe you're ready to experience personal revival!"

 I thought those were very good questions to start out with! I am ready to hear from Him again!
