Craving the word of the lord

My life has become busy with day to day comings and goings. I have been praying and attending my small group but I realized that I have not been reading my bible. Not that I am very good about being faithful and reading my bible daily but I normally don't let so much time pass that I can't remember the last time I read my bible.

Well today on my way to work I started to crave reading Ephesians this was such a new and wonderful feeling for me. I am a huge reader so craving reading a book is not new but I have never craved the lords word before. So I came home tonight and picked up my bible to Ephesians and I felt like I was home being comforted by my family. I am so excited about this growth that I feel happening inside of me that even as I haven't been reading my bible I was still talking and praying to God.

I have always felt that praying and talking to God are two different things. Praying is like a child asking permission for something or confessing something. Talking is like a child telling about their day or just chatting about nothing really important just stuff.

I find myself talking to the lord about what I should make for supper, how am I ever going to tackle all the items on my to do list or just telling him about the latest book I read. I am so glad to have reached this stage in my christian walk.
