There have been very few times in my life when I can honestly say I was faithful in my devotion times. I'm the kind that falls asleep mid bedtime prayer or somehow sleeps through that super early alarm. This should come as no shock to my Bible Study, but I'm also the one making the mad dash to the base to get my "homework" pounded out in the 45 minutes prior to start time. (How else is it always so fresh in my mind?) In addition to neglecting my devo time, since heading to Italy I've been churchless. Luckily I did get plugged in with a women's study early on but let's face it- once a week is not really cutting it.
So...this first challenge was created because I suck at prioritizing my time. All those hours each week at work, on Facebook, watching movies, sleeping, and I can't put aside a fraction of an hour each morning?
Yep- time to reshuffle where my time is going.
So for the next 31 days (even when I'm on vacation) I will...
*Keep a prayer journal
*Read a daily devo
*Attend Bible study weekly (once it starts) & have all my reading/questions answered prior to Tuesday at lunch
*Pick a scripture to memorize each week (4 at the end of the month)
The goal? Besides feeling better about my priorities based on where my time is going? Give my spiritual life a nice jolt of "get your act together" and in the process get the wisdom I so desperately need for my next steps or at least peace with however it all pans out.
