I had lunch at UTEP with Steve on Wednesday. We had a great conversation, getting to know each other and sharing our current questions in our pursuit of Christ.
The conversation concluded with an awareness of the need to spend unstructured time in conversation with the Father, as well as a resolve to develop an intimacy with the Father through consistently meeting Him in the mornings. I want to two to the point where I can call Him "Daddy" (similar to "Abba") without it feeling forced or awkward. And I want to be close enough in my relationship with Him that I can talk about my deep wounds/issues openly and unashamedly with Him, open to His direct ministry and healing in my soul.
Observation: my chronic overcommitment and stress get in the way of me spending time with the Father.
Father, thank you for always being available to meet. Jesus, thank you for your example of spending time with the Father. Holy Spirit, please guide me into closeness with the Father, and lead me to healing from feeling like I need to be busy all of the time. I love you.
