How Do You Grow In More Than One Area At A Time?
February 10, 2008
Even though I really want to set aside time for these three areas, I am still neglectful of slowing down long enough to significantly challenge my life, mind and heart.
Life has been very busy, but these are the times I really need to slow down for meditation, confession, deeper prayer and purposeful living/giving.
I wonder if I am expecting too much, too fast, too soon? Maybe it would be sufficient and even OK if I put aside only 10 minutes for one area.
If that’s all I concentrated on this Lent, it’s farther than I would have been if I’d kept up with my usual pace.
So tonight I will have a 10 minute prayer/Bible reading/listening time with God to see if I see this differently afterwards.
How do you all handle growing deeper in more than one area at a time?

If you figure out how this works let me know. I am still at the point where God is working in me and everything becomes overwhelming (sometimes in good ways, not always bad) and when I can’t keep the ball rolling, I come to a standstill!

Theresa,
We can be sisters traveling along the same path.
Maybe it’s in the standstill that we hear the quiet voice of God?
That happened to me yesterday when I was desperate about finding my articles.
