Quiet Time With God

Every moment is a blessing.

Have you ever watched the sunrise?If not I encourage you to wake up early tomorrow, and take a while to just sit and see how amazing God's creation is.

We have an opportunity every morning to watch the sunrise, but why don't we? Maybe we need more sleep, or we aren't a "morning person". My point is a sunrise is such a beautiful way to start your day.It could give you a whole new outlook for your day, but we rarely take the time to make it happen.
My question is, are we doing the same thing in our quiet time with God?Do we put Him off until we have time for Him? Do we forget to spend time with Him every now and then?

The answer is yes. We are human, of course we fall short, but falling short with God leads to falling short in life. God has blessed us each with amazing people, chances, and a plan. All of His time goes to us, why is our time so selfishly wasted? We usually put quiet time off and say "I'll do that later" ,but God didn't put off dying on the cross. He went willingly. He also didn't hesitate to wake you up this morning. He is constantly thinking of us, but are we always thinking of him?

I challenge you to start a daily devotion, don't just read an app, invest in your quiet time. Set aside a designated time for just you and the Lord. Start with a prayer.Thank God for all your blessings and talk to him about your struggles.The point of prayer is to talk to God, we can tell him absolutely anything. This time with Him should also be spent reading God's word. We can learn so much from the bible and it is important to be in the word.I guarantee if you keep this up within a week you will be happier, and will have a better outlook on life.Something to remember as you start this journey is that a relationship works two ways. Don't let God give 200% and you give 25%. God gave you today, give your time to him.

I spoke at the beginning about how beautiful the sunrise is. Time with God can be just as beautiful. So tomorrow when you wake up make a fresh cup of coffee and take in the morning sun with the Lord.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
