Joel 2:12-13
 "Even now, declares the LORD, "return to ME with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning."  Rend your heart and not your garments.  Return to the LORD your GOD, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and He relents from sending calamity."

    So often, we, as women, find ourselves very busy about our work as mothers, wives, or daughters. We have to somehow balance work between the job we have and with our home and family.  With that often comes a feeling of being somehow disconnected from GOD.  I know that I have felt that way myself!

    However, when we feel that we are far away from GOD because of our life is so busy with so-o-o-o many things that need to be done, we are not.  Remember that He is with us at all times and we are only a prayer away from Him.  

    Sometimes, however, we can find ourselves lost and alone out in this world of ours.  How we got there we may not even know ourselves.  If that is you, than you are also only a prayer away from Him. GOD is asking you to give Him your heart.  In return, you will know His love, compassion, and goodness. Whatever the reason may be that we feel far from Him, our open hearts before Him will draw us back to Him.  Join with me today, pray a short and sincere prayer asking GOD to draw us closer to Him in the midst of our busy lives!
