Quiet Moments

One thing I have found essential to my continued sanity amongst a busy schedule (albeit only partial sanity at times) is carving out quiet time at some point in my day. I'd love to say that I wake up super early every morning and get organized and prepared for my day, but that is false. My natural bio-rhythms keep me up pretty late at night, so waking early is a challenge. (Thanks, Mom, for that inherited trait!)

I'm not sure the point is doing it just one prescribed way anyway...I think the goal is to set aside a little time each day to get in your zone, meditate, pray, think about your opportunities and seize them mentally. For me personally, the best quiet moments are spent in the Bible just reading and thinking. I find that when I do this, my spiritual battery stays charged up longer than when I fail to make time. My spiritual battery seems connected to my emotional and physical well-being, too. It's all connected, crazy stuff! (Almost like we are designed this way?!)

Oh, and that's a key point here...You won't FIND time to do anything when your life is hectic. You must MAKE time for what's important, for the things that you can't live without. Otherwise you'll be years down your road paved with good intentions with a lot of regret hanging around your neck.

Find your quiet moments and don't trade them in for the temporal stuff that fades or falls away.
