Journal Question: What are your biggest hinderances to spending alone time with God? What do you want your quiet times with God to look like?
This will probably go down as my favorite assignment in the Spiritual Formation 101 Growth Track. Why? Because I am like most people who live in DC. That is my life is busy and hectic. It is fast paced and I feel like I am always in a hole trying to climb out. So, that means trying to juggle my new life with God with how I manage my old life. That being work, working out and a social life. I was too busy with God and now I must understand that I need to make time with him. I am attempting to serve him so when a Tuesday night might have been just going home and watching tv. It now means I head over to the church for the Growth Track. Where it might have been a Thursday I head to the gym or the rare happy hour I now head over to shelter and volunteer my time with other like minded people. This now takes away from the things that I use to do and it has been a challengem but I know that I am happier person I grow an walk with God.
You are probably wondering when I am going to answer the question. Maybe I just did. I guess it is adjusting my "old life" and budgeting my old life and give more to my new self. And with that is the understanding that this new life I need to have quiet times. My time alone with God. I need to be with him. There are plenty of times I am alone. I just need to turn off the tv hit and just be with God. I can also get in the car keep the radio off and just drive in the slow lane. If I keep the radio on maybe it can be a Hillsong Church song :)
On a scale of 1-10, how hungry are you for God?
My hunger for God is an 7.5. I am not sure how I got this answer. I did say it was an 8, but I bumped it down. I am getting there.
