Chapter Ten: The Heart of Worship

Question: What area of my life am I holding back from God?

Answer: I am holding back my 'free time,' my 'me time.' There are times that I know I need to pray. I know I need to talk with God. I know I need to attend church and worship him. However, I get selfish, and I refuse to give up my fun time. Life is so hectic. There is always something to do. Work, grading, planning, getting the kids ready for school or bed, eating, cleaning, homework. It seems like it never ends and I never have time for just me. I just want to sit on the couch and watch my soap opera, or go to the mall and walk around Target aimlessly. I need to stop being so selfish and give some of this time over to God. I did this today by attending church. I am so glad I went, too. It felt great to read the psalms, sing the songs, and be around people who believed and worshipped. I hope to start attending more regularly.
