Before I put my hand on the counter or kicked off my shoes, I <i>knew<\/i> I was surrounded! After the bags came in, I began the attack with my trusty swiffer mop.\u00a0Noiselessly pushing around, I collected quite a pile.\u00a0I was horrified by the amount. I blame the dog &amp; cat, like the 7 humans don&#8217;t contribute&#8230; hah.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Looking at that gross collection reminded me of <i>anything<\/i> I ignore for a while. Exercise, eating well, laundry, dishes&#8230; Biblestudy. It piles up and gets dusty and I have to trudge through the job of getting it back on track to run smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>I was enjoying this <em>read-through-the-Bible<\/em> program until I misplaced the schedule and fell behind! When I finally discovered it and saw how much there was to catch up, it took a whole day of my Bible App reading to me. I discovered I actually like listening while I sew or paint. Multitask.<\/p>\n<p>Like <em>swiffering<\/em>, a little everyday keeps the dust away, especially when it comes to quiet time. I know God is always available, but I need a regular time-out. He gives me something I need- fuel. These spiritual doses of soul food strengthen and encourage. That&#8217;s why I wake up early and get a head start. I want that fresh word from Him.<\/p>\n<p><i>Lord, help me not to neglect the little things that can pile up and cause such a mess. Like our time together, even if it&#8217;s short.
