Greg,this was such a timely message for me. I myself am struggling with the same exact thing.. Finding and making time for God.. I know in my heart of hearts He should be number one in my life,heart and mind.. I believe God speaks to us through others and what you said has definitely hit home with me.. I know some people have their quiet time in the morning,some in the afternoon and some at night.. I think mine would work best in the mornings since I already have to wake up early to get my son to school.. I have found that if I do not eat breakfast until I read my bible that I am more motivated to do it.. We should nourish our Spirits in the same way we nourish our bodies.. "No read,no feed "...is what I like to say.. I pray you would be able to put your focus on God first and then let everything else follow.. Nothing more important then our personal relationship with Christ.. God bless you Bro!

Greg,this has really caused me to think about how stubborn and unwilling I can be at admiting when I have wronged someone else.. God has really been showing me how angry I am and how much bitterness I have stored up inside.. I can tell by reading your blogs how much God is working in your life.. Your willingness to be bold and share your experiences is inspiring.. Sounds like a great book,will definitely have to see about reading it..

These two lines really stuck out at me you said "It was extremely difficult, humiliating, humbling and really put me in my place. At the same time, it was wonderful, Spirit-filled, God-ordained and edifying." Being broken is nowhere near easy by any means ,but it brings us closer to God!! The end result is unlike anything we could ever begin to imagine!! It is through the most difficult times of our lives that God's Glory is able to shine through.. We do not get through on our own ,it is only with HIS strength.. God you Bro... :o)
