In this season of life (infant/toddler/preschool)I think my biggest obstacle is finding time to have quiet time. I'm not a morning person, so early in the morning doesn't work too good for me. It doesn't help that my kids are morning people and get up early. I try during nap time but tend to fall asleep after a little while. By the time the kids are in bed, I've forgotten and go about doing other things and then go to bed myself. I know that if I would put God first, then all my other relationships would be in great shape too!
I need to take time for god first and foremost. It keeps my priorities in line and my perspective clear. I also need to attempt to make time for my husband. All my energy is spent on my children. I need to devote more of myself to God and my husband.
I need a lot of work right now--I need to make sure that I am in the word each and every day. I have been trying to do this each night before bed, but am still distracted by anything and everything (any little noise in the house, projects that need to be completed, unfinished laundry, etc). I need to set up an isolated place--it sounds crazy, but I am actually setting up a quiet time "zone" for myself in our master bedroom closet. I really think that it is the only place that I will truly be able to shut out the world.
I need to spend more fun time with my husband to keep our relationship strong. We spend time together everyday, but right now I really just desire that closeness, friendship and just time to joke around with him. I have been so overwhelmed and tired lately that I am always very serious. I need to lighten up and have fun with my wonderful husband!
I also need to be more active in seeking out more Christian friends to start developing close relationships here in Arkansas and be patient with the process. I know that the Father would not have led us here without these people in mind for us, I just need to be more active in seeking them out. They aren't going to just happen overnight and they won't form without me taking some action.
