Between work, kids' activities, and just surviving most days, I've let my own spiritual life get really thin. I'm not praying, barely reading my Bible, and then I wonder why I feel disconnected. This week I committed to 15 minutes in the morning before everyone wakes up. It's not much but it's something. Anyone else had to get back on track after letting it slide?
I get up before everyone else. I know it sounds crazy but those early morning hours before the chaos are the only time I can actually think and sit with things that matter. Marathon training got me into the rhythm of early mornings anyway, so my faith practice kind of fits into that same window now.
This is something I've been wrestling with too. With my daughter, I realized I don't have to wait for some perfect quiet moment that probably won't come. I've started praying during my drive to work - maybe just 10 minutes but it's MY time. Even that small consistency has helped me feel more grounded.

Man, I feel this in my soul. Four months in and I'm running on fumes spiritually AND physically. The 3am feeds are brutal but I've started listening to some worship music during those moments - it's become kind of my anchor point. Not much but it's something when everything else feels impossible.
