Day 585

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  In the busy hubbub of life, I still need to set aside quite time for God.  It is in this time, I get to know Him more, and my relationship with Him grows. I can read the Bible, and pray.  During this time I also read some daily meditations relating to recovery which helps me as well.  If my mind is racing or I am thinking about of things, I am not letting Him speak to me.  If I am thinking about what I making for dinner that night or how I am going to get Laney to girl scouts in time after I get off work, while I am reading, I am not getting anything out of it, and I not really listening to God.  Usually before I start my meditation time, I pray for God to quiet my heart and mind, so I can really absorb what I am about to read.  I want to get as much out of it as I can.  Well, that si all I have for today.  Have a great one!
