Morning Devotions

I work for a non-denominational organization that provides safe Christian homes for children in need. During my time here I have had an opportunity to re-evaluate several things in my life and my career. I've also taken the opportunity to sit back at this job and look at how everything runs. I've noticed that worship here is something very different from my Seventh-day Adventist dominated experiences. Things here are very relaxed, heavily Southern Baptist (despite the non-denominational title), and more focused on the emotional. In my few months I've seen worship come and go, I've seen praise leaders drinking coffee mid-song during praise, and I've seen the past month and a half go by without a daily devotional thought. So I decided that I was going to have one.

I struggle with having daily devotions. Because of my own struggles I was nervous to start having morning devotions here at work for fear that I might let them down or they might not be interested. But we had one this morning. Two boys came and one said they wanted it every morning. I'm pretty excited about it and I hope that it grows into something great.
