I like to either sit in my front porch with a cup of coffee or sit outside overlooking my flower beds and enjoying Gods beauty. Sunrises are exceptionally beautiful to me. A promise of a new day. I love the way The Lord paints the sky.
I like to sing a hymn or song (not saying that I am a great singer), but it changes my heart and thoughts that go along with it.
My most favorite place to go or thing to do to escape the things that pull on me, is my horse. i can just forget all my problems when I’m with him. I can also share all my fears and tears with him, and he hears all my complaints without saying a word! And he gives the best hugs! I’ve even taught him to pray with me!
I am daily amazed and thankful for God’s grace and tender mercies. He is truly an awesome God. Being outdoors in His Creation and feeing His Spirit of peace all around me keeps me grounded and thankful in The Lord.
I like to go to my bedroom with no outside interruptions except maybe some music and just pray, journal my thoughts and read my Bible. This always gives me a new perspective on whatever is going on in my life.
I like to take a long walk and listen to my favorite Christian music on my iPod.
Anywhere outside and in nature is my sanctuary…
Though ive been a christian awhile pray fpr others read a daily devotional …i just dont hear god answer me back. Ive had answered prayer and was recently delivered out a very abusive situation…just couldnt get the person out of my house, then my son took his life….so its been a really tough last few yrs.
I love to sit on my bed and have a dialogue with God. Anytime am in doubt i sit there, read a random verse (though i would love to have a list of those verses that i can draw a deeper inspiration) then complain, talk to him and listen to him talk back
Hi Renee,
#Perfect Love: . I love this OBS. I have always been afraid to even be involved with something like this. I do so want to live this journey. It really inspires me. Thank-You

I love putting my two small children (4 and 1 1/2) down for their afternoon nap (youngest) and quiet time (oldest). The peace in the house after what is usually a noisy morning feels absolutely calm. I really enjoy diving into Bible studies and prayer during this time.
I am a single mom racing out the door in the morning to get to work. As soon as my son is safety dropped at school I crank up the worship music all the way to work. When I get about 5 minutes out I start talking and praying to God that he uses me today for whatever his need is for me. That he keeps me in his will and on his path. I am so fortunate to work on a 200 acre park/lake so when I pull up and am able to see the beauty that surrounds me I thank God for placing me here in my job. Whenever I get the change I take a long walk, or just sit in the sun overlooking the water either writing, reading,or just soaking in God’s blessing on my life
I like to sit by the ocean with my bible and journal. There I can pour out my heart and listen for His voice while seeing His beauty all around. Sometimes I don’t understand at the time why God will give me a specific verse but I will write it in my journal anyways. Then a few days or week later when I go back and re-read what I wrote I am amazed at how that verse fit perfectly.
