Coloring God's Word

Life is busy.  Crazy busy.  Thank God for iCal so we can sync sports, Bible study, school stuff, church activities, singing stuff, and reminders when Library books are due.

We are THE busiest women who have ever walked the planet.  Not necessarily milking the cows or churning the butter- but the overload of INFORMATION.  Our BRAINS are on the go 100% of the time.  Even when we lay down the wheels are spinning over the current grocery list, pinterest ideas and political upheaval. It's absolutely exhausting.

And what about spending time with God?

As ultimate sports mom, writer, business owner, wife, sister, daughter, church member--I find it almost impossible to spend quality time with God! (Anyone else?)

Really?! The ONE thing I need the most gets pushed to the back burner.   Gah!

When I did make the time to dive in His Word I found myself refreshed, renewed and fueled to face the massive information overload! BUT- I'm not a scholar- sit and study is not my thing....

BUT COLORING IS!

I started writing out God's Word that pierced my heart and washed over my soul.  I started coloring those words and realized that when I did --I found a small peace!  I couldn't think of crazy schedules, couldn't worry about finances or struggle with what I'm not.

Sitting still is Tough!  But God tells us to!  "BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD! I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in all the earth" Psalm 46:10   I think God is wanting us to TURN OFF the noise and focus on Him!  What better way to BE STILL than getting a sharp colored pencil and stay in the lines!

"and if children, then heirs--heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him." Romans 8:17

It's amazing!  We are HIS Heirs!  He is our Father- our ABBA DADDY!  Of course He wants us to spend time with Him!    What is holding you back from reading His word?  He has something to tell you-- you are His Child

\Wonder where to start?  How about the beginning!

 Let me end by saying this-- no matter if you don't color, doodle, journal or whatever--- GOD is still with you! He will ALWAYS be with you. In fact He will never leave you or forsake you!  It's a promise Beloved, He loves you- unconditionally.  Yes, He wants to spend intimate, undivided time with you, but KNOWS you and FORGIVES you when you don't!  He is here- right now waiting!  My prayer is that you make the time to open His Words to you!  It's worth it!
