SWIRLS OF NURTURE

Sometimes I feel like a creator, sometimes I feel like a teacher,  sometimes I feel like a worshipper, 
sometimes I just feel three worlds swirling, colliding, morphing into new worlds . . 
. . . yet with each swirl the need to nurture . . .
. . . nurture midst fragile creations, vulnerable artists, emotive questioning soundscapes, wondering and wandering thoughts, midst a church wondering how to create in the image of the One who created all.

Simple Routines

Routines help restore a sense of control and order.  
Simple routines to organize your day can include:
  1. Waking up at the same time every day
  2. Showering or dressing as if you were going out
  3. Dressing for the day (even in casual and comfortable attire)
  4. Eating at regular times, even if your food options are limited
  5. Exercising! Keep to a daily schedule
  6. Limiting your use of electronic devices or TV time
  7. Going to bed at the same time each night
  8. Making your bed the same way every day
  9. Reading your Bible at the same time(s) each day
  10. Expressing your feelings and desires to God at regular times.  Two of the best times are when you wake up and when you go to sleep.

Various routines of talking to God regularly are found in the Psalms.  When I did a count recently I found at least ten instances where the Psalmist talks about his routine of talking with God each day.  David’s routine included three times each day: morning, evening, and even at noon.

But I call to God, and the LORD will save me. Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan, and he hears my voice.  Psalm 55:16-17 (ESV)
