Journey

I've been thinking about what I want my next "spiritual journey" to be, and I really want to just make it simple. I want to focus for the next 30 days (at least) on having a quiet time with the Father, reading His word and praying. I heard someone the other day call God, their Father, and it sounded so endearing and loving. I guess I just don't usually call Him that, and I want my relationship with Him to be more like one of a father and daughter who long to spend time together. I don't want to be bogged down with rules and things I HAVE to do each day because I'm already overwhelmed. I just want my goal to be to spend time with Him alone, no kids babbling in the background, no one else to interrupt our time.

Everyday while I'm spending time with my Father, I will ask these questions:

• How can I radiate the peace of Christ so that his character might be glorified in and through me?
• How can I bless God in the way I treat my family?
• How can my mind be transformed that I might become more pleasing to Jesus? (questions from Ginger Plowman's Heaven at Home, page 15)
  

I've been feeling really insecure lately, more so than usual. I don't know where it's coming from exactly, but I need to get out of it and hopefully this journey will help.
