Lenten Blog Series - Tea Time


The following blog entry is written by Karen Rollins: 

This may sound a little funny………….but I have “tea time” with God.   

I started having a regular morning devotional probably about 8 years ago.    I can’t really explain what made me start waking up at 5:30 AM so I would have time to read and pray before heading out the door.  I just started.   Looking back, I think it was God “calling” me.    God still calls and I get up.   I fix my cup of hot tea, settle in the recliner (sometimes I sit on the porch in the summer), and I read.    Sometimes I read from the Bible, sometimes it is from a devotional book, sometimes it is some inspirational piece.  Sometimes I write things down.  And then, I pray …  Sipping my tea in prayer.   Without a doubt, this quiet, one-on-one, tea time with God has changed my life.   I’ve grown in my faith through this time in a way more so than any other.  I have also come to that know that my day is so entirely different when I start off the day in God’s presence than when I don’t.
