Thank you so much for sharing this today. I’ve been struggling with time management lately and this really struck a chord with me. I’m spending too much time on the things that don’t matter – like checking emails, reading blogs and watching mindless TV at night – and not spending enough quality, present time with God and my family. I want to change that, so this is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for being a blessing!

Laura,
A friend emailed me a link to your blog recently. How surprised I was to see it was your blog!!!! I am so proud of you, I had no idea what you were up to all these years since we last connected.
miss you much.

I’m praying that Hello Mornings will help make my mornings my “sacred space”! I also make an effort to not bring my cell phone with me when I’m out and about with my husband. Focusing that time solely on him is a sacred space. 😉

Since reading your post this morning, I realized that I too am feeling the same infringement upon my sacred spaces. Unfortunately until we feel that heavy weight upon us, we might miss God’s soft voice saying “hey, you haven’t even defined our sacred spaces…. you need to get with the program.” Thank you for the blessing of realization this morning. My blog is on black-out today for more time with God, and it looks like He used your blog to remind of this very practical issue!

In reply to Debby Webb. I love you, Debby. It was great seeing you (too briefly!) yesterday. And I totally agree. The inundation can be overwhelming. Trusting Him to guide and empower us, my friend.

In reply to Markeitha Christian. Good for you, Markeitha! Seriously. Facebook can be consuming if we let it. Praying your season of "fasting" continues to bless you, friend.

In reply to Sarah.

Thanks, Sarah. That can be a sweet time for us too — the tucking into bed. (Until I get frustrated at the “can I have more water?” or “can you get me a kleenex?” or “can I…” Ha.) Bless you, sister.

In reply to Ruthan. That's so good, Ruthan. Being distracted really does hinder intimacy. Love to you, friend.

Really? I can’t believe you wrote about this today. Were you in my laundry room with me last night? I was thinking some of these same thoughts. I was contemplating how technology invades and I don’t have time to explore ideas or brainstorm because my thoughts are inundated by external information. It is time to set some boundaries. Thank you for reiterating this to me.
