  • Interruptions

    I was greatly motivated by Sunday's sermon about choosing the better thing as Mary did.  One of the things that has been difficult for me since becoming a mom has been learning that my time does not belong to me anymore.  It belongs to my baby -- or, rather, I must always consider her needs alongside my desires.  I used to spend extensive extended time with God, uninterrupted.  Now interruptions and the possibility of interruptions keep me too distracted to have deep, lengthy times with God, even during the times when I have the chance.  But Jesus was always interrupted by crowds of people with needs, and yet he still found time for intimacy with the Father.  So I need to pick up some tips from him and learn how to work around the interruptions.  I need to adjust better and re-claim my time, so that I can cultivate deeper intimacy with Jesus.
