Kettle Club on Exemplify

I found this great blog and I wanted to join the fun! I love to mediate on questions that would help me improve my spiritual walk and give others ideas!

• What are some practical ways you maintain a consistent “in the Word” time? Well, I do it first thing in the morning and what I mean first thing is by getting out of bed and I jump into my comfy chair right by my bed where I have all my books and a table with lamp and I have my time with God with a BIG cup of coffee.
  
• Do you have a certain morning system that accompanies your quiet time?
  
• I first journal my thoughts in my prayer journal and start by talking to God about my thoughts and heart desires or sorrows, then I jump to the internet and go to the Internet Cafe Devotions which I have been so blessed by each day. Then I go to my search the scripture in 3 years devotional where I read a chapter or chapter of the bible and answer some questions to mediate on what I read. Then I journal again in my prayer journal about what the Lord spoke to me and pray for all the people on my list for the day.
  
• In what ways have you been applying what you are learning in your devotional time into your day? I do apply it because I make sure I meditate on what I have read and see how I need to apply it for the day so when I live my life God brings those to memory.
  
• If you are working on memorizing Scripture, can you offer a few tips that help you for our other Kettle Members? I am not memorizing the word right now but I think this is something I really need to commit to.
  
• Share a standout lesson you’ve learned this month and why it has made such an impact on you. I am reading about Joseph and how God used what his brother meant for evil for good and how God has a purpose for all of us even if we at the time don't see it. Our family is going threw some hard time of decisions and because of this passage I am reminded that all is good and even if it is painful and hard on us God is going to use it for good!
