                            My time alone with the LORD    
                                  As I was pulling out a sweatshirt from my closet yesterday I noticed that my beautiful bible had dropped to the floor.  I had the urge to pick it up and hug it almost like I was hugging god asking him to forgive me for not praying like I used to.  For the record a couple of years a go I used to prey just about every night asking him to watch over for my friends and family and just to forgive me for everything that I had done wrong and that I trusted him in what he had planned for my life ect but at that time I was living with dad and he seemed to understand more than my mom did because we attended church weekly and I must admit I felt weird kneeling beside my bed and preying when I moved back in with mom, when I have Nathan living in the house just in case he came in on me in the middle of my prayer and I don't have a lock on my door LOL.  For the record I don't say my prayers allowed but just the way I would look I would be afraid someone would laugh.  Well anyway for the record grandma and grandpa gave me a precious moments bible a few years a go on my birthday.  
                             No it's not a children's bible but it has the precious moments illustrations in it and the bible has my name in gold in the front.  As I hugged it  I made a commitment and that commitment is to read a scripture along with say a little prayer every day and I am going to stick to it.  The good lord listens to wherever a body prays.  So I said my first prayer in a long time last night and it felt a feeling of love and kindness and I look forward to saying many more more prayers and reading many more scriptures.
