Puritan Board Freshman
I'm still adjusting (13 months later!) to having a lil' guy in the house, and still realizing how little time there really is in the day. Lately my job has been taking more time than it should (this should hopefully pass soon) and I've needed to study some in the evenings to relearn some skills that I haven't used at work for a while--but there's no time in a workday to fit that in. So after getting home, playing with our son, getting him bathed and into bed, and then cleaning up the tornado that's gone through the house--well, it seems like I have about 15 minutes a day left over. And when I read on this board about how many of you have quite a few kids, I feel like a lightweight!
So my question is, how do you prioritize your spiritual activity (praying, meditating, reading Scripture, reading other works, etc.) when you have little time in a day? It's way too easy for me to go all day and realize I've forgotten to pray
I've been listening to sermons, Sproul lectures etc. in the car--that gives me about 40 minutes a day that aren't wasted, although I'm giving full attention. Where does everyone find time to fit it all in? What daily activities are you able to combine with prayer or meditation? What am I overlooking? I'm sure there must be plenty of opportunities that I just don't take.
Just wondering and looking for some advice from people who've been there, and are there now.
