Oh how I miss BSF!

Well, it's two weeks since BSF (my wonderful Bible Study class) broke up for the summer.  And I must say I have barely read the bible or prayed in my own time.  Obviously I read/listen to the bible in Church & fellowship group, and I do pray at night with the kids & at prayer meeting. But this is NOT ENOUGH for me!  These are proscribed times of the week when I will be doing these things.  Add them up. It comes to about 7 hours of the week. 
I thought I had become the sort of person who loves to pray & read the bible. But no, I am still the sort of person who needs a regular bible-reading-scheme to discipline me into it. 
I don't need to be specifically praying or reading the bible 168 hours in a week, but that IS how many hours my God loves & sustains me, forgives, cherishes, develops, puts His plans into action for me. That is how much I need to share every corner of my life with Him, my Creator, my LIFE.
He is Amazing & Wonderful and It is ME who is missing out!
As was mentioned in our sermon this week, 
"So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! "
(1 Corinthians 10:12)
Thank You God for still wanting me!

Yes I know, prayer isn't always easy. But once I stop putting it off & just get down to it, I am always so blessed & I wonder why I didn't reach out for Him in the first place.
