Making Room For God
>> Sunday, September 21, 2008
Eldredge mentions in this section how he felt God leading him to give up drinking. (He was turning to a drink for comfort when he could have been turning to God.) What do you do or turn to for comfort, for a little joy when you feel the need? Ask God if there is anything in your life that He would want for you to give up to make more room for Him. Pray about it over a day or so and see if he shows you anything in this area of your life.

Along the same lines as I had mentioned earlier - I have been watching a lot of Fox News lately. I don't know if it is for comfort or really more for a little "adult" brain stimulation. I think that for comfort I tend to pick up a book and read.
I turn to sweets when I need a little comfort, ice cream to be specific! I wish my first thought was to turn to God for comfort instead of trying other things first.
Since the birth of my second...I have been like all mothers stressed, TIRED, pulled in every direction, overwhelmed. And I have come to realize lately that when I don't get enough sleep or I feel beat down, ,I turn to whatever type of food I crave at that moment. My thought is "well at least I have this...it will get me through."
I need to turn this over to HIM. All it is doing is fueling a fire....
