Do I do

ok...so there's a verse in Romans...the do I do verse. Anyone with me? Why do I constantly fall back into old behaviors and patterns? I've read all the books, I've given things over to God...and yet...here we are again. Same behaviors, same ole story...just a different day. Let me explain. So I'm doing this awesome bible study at church each Wednesday...and one of the goals in this group is to read daily from Gods word. Even if its just for a few minutes...just read. That's it. 168hours in a week...what's 15 min a day for God? I WANT to read every day, the desire is there. At the beginning of every week I have every intention of sitting down and reading...and when I actually DO read, I come out of it feeling refreshed, closer to God, and a little bit accomplished...that I did what I said I was going to do. Then I let life get in the way. Emails to check, Facebook to update, work for 8hrs, gigs on the weekends, kids to homeschool, tivo to watch and now twitter (geez, who got me started on that??!!!) what is 15min a day? right? So here it is....Tuesday night and well...lets just say I've come extremely short of my goal this week. I know how important it is to read from His word daily. And I am confident that one day I will be there. The enemy will creep in and find ways to chip away at my time. I really need to pray about that. I've asked someone to keep me accountable...I guess I need to ask her to amp up her efforts. For now anyway. Anyone out there with suggestions?

Why not read before Tivo or Facebook? God wants to hear about your day too! He is more interested in your day than anyone else is - so give Him the time.

You asked for MK so now I will step it up!!! ;)
