I like to have my quiet time in the gym/cafeteria in the morning before class. I journal some, pray some and just enjoy having a nice time sitting with my friend Jesus. Until about 9am. That's when the daycare kids start playing in the gym. Today they're getting a little more used to seeing me in there, so they're coming up to me to give me hugs, high fives, and plastic lizards. So ended my quiet time with God...or so you might think.
But God comanded us (Matthew 19:14) to be like these little children. To emrace how they play and act. So my quiet time wasn't ruined by the kids running around and laughing - it was a good reminder that God wants me to be like them. To run up to Him and ask for hugs, high fives and share my plastic lizard with Him.
May you be blessed as your experience some good "quiet" time with God!
Blessings,
