This is a habit I have attempted to do and I constantly fail at it. Daily devotions. It seems like I should be able to carve out 15-30 minutes in the morning to spend time in God’s Word but I just don’t. By the time I wake up, nurse the baby, get ready for the day and get the kids ready it is time to hurry out the door. I want to do this in the morning before I make all my decisions for the day but it just won’t happen with my own will. It sounds so simple to just get up 30 minutes earlier but that is not something I have made work. So I am going to try a different plan. I am going to use lunch time with the kids as a time to have a “peaceful” time with God. The computer sits at our kitchen table so I am going to do the 30 minutes for mommy devotion on this website:

My goal will be to do the 5 days during the week, starting with week 1. I don’t want to be legalistic about it or to do it out of compulsion; I just want to draw closer to the One who made me. Bonus – the kids will get to see me making this time a priority.
Do you do daily devotions? If not, what gets in the way? If you do, what are some ideas you have for fitting it in?
