Pondering Thoughts

I'm really feeling as if I'm missing something in my life right now. I'm always so busy with my boys that I'm missing my walk with God. I spend little time with him these days and even my prayer life is beginning to dwindle. I know that I need to make the time to sit down and read the bible and to journal more but time gets away from me and by the end of the day all I want to do is sleep. I think I need to find a devotional that will help me get back on track something that will inspire me to come back to it each day and fill me with the encouragement that I need to get through the day.

I've become very complacent with my health these days too. I had been trying to diet and exercise but I keep coming up against obstacles that are making me think "what's the point". My RA got bad and made it difficult to do most anything, that started getting better and I tore a muscle in my calf that leaves me unable to exercise for 6-8 weeks. I finally get the gumption to start something new and feel good about myself and life throws a wrench in the wheel to destroy my ability to continue.

I know that it is my own lack of self confidence and will power to be able to do this and that is why I think I need to work on my spiritual life. Get back to the basics and that is what I need to do get my life back to where it needs to be, but how do I get there, where do I begin and how do I start.
