Why I am starting this blog

I am in need of some accountability for quiet times and a fresh new way to record what God is teaching me. This is my new outlet. It is definitely more for my own accountability purposes than for sharing my thoughts with others, but it also allows me a way to record my REFLECTIONS. I need to reflect more. I want to be in the moment more... with God, with my family, with my friends, in my ministry. Life soars by quickly. I want to live today for God and be more aware of Him in my life and of the blessings of His presence and be content in all He has given. I want to hear his voice and do as he asks. Sometimes now I am just too busy. I neither take time to listen nor to follow through on what he asks of me. If I am not aware of the moment, I rush too quickly into the future. I dedicate this to you, Lord. And I pray that you would speak to me in a fresh new way on our journey together.
