Where do you find your "you time"? That time your alone with your thoughts, alone with your God, doing something just for yourself? This is one of the most "guilt" issue's i have. I tend to wake up at crazy hours just to be alone and read, pray, blog, play games, catch up on my shows. I counter that with doing some laundry to ease my guilt. But what about the Gym? I love going to the gym. Not to be 105 lbs or look like a 25 year old. Although, if i could go back i have always said i would install mirrors and walk around saying " dayamn girl!!! you rock " haha. No, i like to go and turn my music up loud, spend 30 min reading my bible study and then hiding in a cardio room and working my routine. Its quiet. Its only for me. Yet this last week i have found that sleep was more what i needed. What if i wanted to go out on a limb and get a pedicure? a massage? a movie? As a parent you know that $ needs to be elsewhere. Proof there is a hairdresser/mom waiting almost 2 years just to get her own hair done. Again, the guilt. I have a family to care for. That my friends, is the devil. The devil saying "with all the mistakes you have made you think you deserve time to yourself?" I say, yes I DO.
What do you do for yourself? What time do your spend in your thoughts or listening/being still? How can we hear God if we arent listening? We arent taking time for ourselves......when do we take time for Him?
The ongoing struggle continues...... Off to be momma/mimi and my day begins. <3
