The Porch

It is too busy...too busy to blog, too busy to do anything just for fun...too busy to pray. I pray at a set time each morning. I pray every time I receive a prayer request, but do I ever just break out in spontaneous prayer? Nope. I don't do anything spontaneously actually. Why? I'm too busy. I can't keep up with my scheduled events, let alone just do something on a whim.

I bet God loves prayer on a whim. I bet He radiates His normal self times a billion when we just pray to pray wherever we are...whatever we are doing. I named this site Solomon's Portico because I thought it was beautiful Solomon designated the porch as the place to gather and discuss scripture. The whole point of this blog was to spend time on the porch with God and you...relaxing, enjoying, breathing.

So, I am sitting amist total and complete chaos right now and going to the porch...this porch.

Father God, I am missing You. Even though I am busy doing your work, doing Bible study, preparing lessons, and daily prayers, I am missing You. Please forgive me for getting lost in busy and not looking for You. Forgive me for feeling irritated when I know that irritation stems from missing You.

Lord, today is a special day...a beautiful day. I am just loving stopping and spending some time with you right now.

(Pause) Lord, you have just sent the chattiest person on the planet to sit right next to me. What in the world??? Well, I'm going to stay on the porch. She will just have to come and sit with me.

I love you too! Amen
