I'M BACK!

So, it's been a while! Things have changed, stuff has happened, but most of my readers (if I still have some) already know me, so I won't bore you with all the details!
I've decided to make a change in my life, and usually when I try and make a change, I do it for a few weeks, and when the honeymoon period is over, I give up. I thought about how I could stop that from happening, what can I do to stop this cycle of personal failure, or just not caring anymore. So I came up with an idea, I'm not sure if it will work, but I'm going to give it a try!
The change I want to make is clear my life of things that make me busy, and spend more time with God. I've been filling my life with things I DO for God, but when it comes down to a relationship with Him, it's non existent. I only have a couple hours in a day when I'm not at work or off doing something, and I want to spend those few precious hours with my husband. I'm going to be brutally honest, I don't pray unless I need something, and I really don't like reading the Bible, mostly because a lot of things don't make sense to me and I get frustrated.
So my plan is to clear my schedual, and take time to spend with God. The way I'm going to try and keep this up is blogging at least once a week and give updates on how it's going. I would love feedback, suggestions and comments!
My first plan of action is reading The Life You Always Wanted by John Ortberg, a book on spiritual disciplines for ordinary people. Chapter 1 - done!
