I listen to his sermons online quite a bit, though I have yet to pick up one of his books (keep meaning to).<br /><br />As for God's interest in our daily lives, that's a lesson I have to relearn over and over, too. There are highs when each day is one long conversation with God, and lows when I slip into thinking that only really big things are worth His time. I guess the only good that comes out of that is that when I suddenly hit a high again, I get "blown away" anew. ;-)Sapphirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295637356951119285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278439163679841081.post-61039069790252949462012-11-01T08:05:50.410-06:002012-11-01T08:05:50.410-06:00I must admit that I'm trying to become more di...I must admit that I'm trying to become more disciplined about consistnetly reading my bible more and more. Francis Chan, an amazing speaker/pastor and author of Crazy Love, once said something like, "People often say that they are so busy they can't afford to take the time to have quiet time. Yet, in reality, if you're that busy, how can you afford NOT to?" That's paraphrased greatly of course, but that's the gist of it. ;-) <br /><br />This is a little backwards from the originally topic, but there are times when I will fall into the belief that God doesn't want to be bothered with the "ordinary" things going on in my life. Even with my busy schedule, I'm still just going to school and work and studying, and hanging out with friends. But He wants to involved in everything we do. That He loves us that much is amazing and blows me away!Clare Kolendahttp://www.unitedinhislove.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
