Finding Quiet Time with God

I'm excited to introduce you to Francine Costanza, the newest counselor at Heritage Counseling Center and the author of this week's article!  Francine brings us encouragement and hints on how to get into the routine of finding quiet time with God.  She explains what there is to be gained when you get into a routine of quiet time with God.  Here is what Francine has to say:

The morning alarm goes off and life begins again. Jump in the shower, dry your hair, brush your teeth, pick out something presentable to wear, make the coffee, grab a bagel (or something - maybe), get to work or to school, or just get busy. On and on we could go, listing the multitude of tasks before us each day. How many mornings across the country start out either mechanically or rushed, with the duties of life sitting on the throne? As we stop and reflect on the year gone by and the year ahead, let us consider how much time we are spending in communion with our heavenly Father. Do we really believe that He loves us immeasurably and that His power is unlimited? If so, then spending time in His presence must be a worthwhile endeavor. This new year might be a good time to slow down and set aside time each day to open God's Word and to open our hearts before Him.
