One of my new year resolutions has revolutionized my intimacy with God again. I decided to wake up at 5:45 every week day in 2010. My time on the couch just soaking in the Spirit and reading God’s Word has been life giving this week, like a rebirth of this desire for deeper intimacy.
When I was not waking up early, my quiet time in the morning felt rushed, like I can’t “waste” time in silence. But now I seem to have time to just focus and be silent and listen. The centering prayer is back in my spiritual food diet again…
Abba (breathing in)
Father (breathing out)
Abba (breathing in)
Father (breathing out)
Into this peaceful silence I suddenly realize that this is a special day for me… Is it God speaking, or just my memory finally kicking in? I would like to think it’s God wishing me a happy birthday…
Happy Birthday!
Thanks.
