This may be too much information for some, but i have found that i best connect with God during my quietest alone times. Unfortunately because of a certain degree of lack of discipline my quietest times are in the shower and in the car.
Its at these times that i seem to have the clearest of thoughts. The problem is that i often want to write things down, or my thoughts seem to be the starting point of something cool and "big" that i want to follow up on. You can imagine how entertaining it would be to try writing in a journal in the shower, and even more scary (especially for those of you who have ridden with me) imagine me writing while driving to work. eeeeek!!!
i have two thoughts on this problem. Number one, make a point to set aside a time to be quite, to meditate, to clear your mind. A lot enough time to clear your head, and really quiet your mind. Secondly, sometimes the best thing you can do is just enjoy the moment. Much like the days my sons were born, i can try to save those moments and make them last forever, or. . . i can enjoy the moment, and remember it. There will always be other days of equally intense joy. With God though, one day we will no longer have to try to cling to past joys, or long for future joys. We will live with God and be in constant joy.
Until then, make the most of your time with God.
