"I'm excited about this because I used to feel guilty that my 'quiet time' didn't look like other people's...and also when I became a new mom, I also felt guilty that [it] didn't look like it used to look."
— Vera Schmitz
Today's Episode: What's a quiet time? And how exactly do I go about having one? Today, Vera and Natalie share their own habits and practices of spending time with God. They share 10 different ways, here's the list:
- Write out a passage that really speaks to you.
- Spend time learning what it means.
- Rewrite it in your own words.
- Pray the passage back to God.
- Ask yourself questions about the passage. (I.e. Am I believing this? Am I living like this is true?)
- Write a list of ways that you are or are not living out the truths in the passage.
- Memorize a verse from the passage. Speak it back to yourself throughout the day.
- Recite the verse in a "breath exercise."
- Spend time coloring the verse.
- Talk to others about what you're learning.
