I am lucky enough to have my husband off work every-other Friday. It makes it so I have help getting up and getting the girls ready for school. It feels like a mini-holiday. It would be pretty easy to skip over scripture study as part of this break-from-routine, but I'm finding myself drawn to sit at my desk and spend some time learning about God.
Today, I'm studying from Come Follow Me.
This week, Lehi has gathered his family together as he is on his death bed. We are about to go into the splitting of Nephi and his brothers, but I am grateful for this chance to study the words of a father and grandfather who had sought to do God's will and who gathered those he loved to teach them.
Lehi begs his children to awake from the sleep of hell. What is it that I need to do to stay awake and stay vigilant, to ensure that I am not coasting along? That is a big part of this scripture study blog- staying accountable and writing down what I am learning. Trying to figure out what works for me to learn about God, to develop a deeper and more meaningful relationship with Him. I recognize that real prayers are a big part of this.
I want to allow more time in the mornings for prayer. It's like I'm so pushed to get in scripture study and to get words on the screen, that I forget to take time to commune with God, and instead rush through my prayers.
