Memory Lane Monday #7-Time with God

In the picture above (April 2003) I am quite giddy that I was able to capture a kodak moment with someone I think is walking what she talks....Beth Moore. For those of you who have done her Bible Studies...enough said. You get it. If you have never heard of her or have never had the opportunity to study God's Word in her style of teaching then you are missing out on an enormous blessing. There is no doubt that God set this woman apart to be a teacher of His Word. She so rocks! When we served at a church just outside of Houston, Texas for a couple of years I was so blessed to be able to drive into Houston for a semester for her Tuesday Night Bible Study with some coworkers. It changed my life. Not only were the studies incredibly awesome, but I was under Beth's direct teaching (along with a couple thousand other women!) She has prayed over me personally about infertility and I love how she is so personable and approachable. She would be the FIRST to say not to "camp out" with her by only doing her studies. She would also beg you not to be a "Beth Worshipper". Beth constantly points out her own flaws and points her students to worship the One True God.

On HER BLOG she showed us where she has her own time alone with God. Before having a daughter I had "quiet times" (time alone with God in prayer, worship, etc) very consistently and greatly enjoyed journaling my thoughts. Once the little one came along, that routine flew right out the window! It is a challenge to MAKE the time to rejuvenate with my Maker, but it is so worth it when I do. I am by no means consistent right now. I want to get back to that place, though. Back to the LPM Blog....Beth asked us to post where our favorite spot is to get away from it all and spend time with God. This wasn't to condemn anyone for NOT having a quiet time, but rather to see where other "sistas" were spending time. If you have a special place, take a picture of it and share it with us. If your special place is in the shower, please refrain from posting those pics! LOL! Maybe by posting yours, someone else might be motivated to make time to spend with God. He is waiting for us!


Since moving to our new home over a week ago, I have found that I get up early on purpose so that I can enjoy some quiet, alone time with my worship music, my Bible, my journal and the beautiful lake outside. I relish this time now. Yes, you do see a CD player. I still don't have an iPod, so I have to use this archaic form of musical interlude. HA! Thank God I live where I can freely worship Him. Can't wait to see your spot!
