Today, while driving I started talking to Jesus. I really enjoy talking with Jesus in the car, actually, there's something about the relative quiet and the fact that driving by myself is simply not my favorite, so talking with Jesus just makes it that much better.
Then I felt a little guilty because I had not spent my normal "quiet time" with Jesus. I struggle with this. I know it is SO important to have time every day where you intentionally carve it out to spend with Jesus, but does it matter where or when it is? Is it worse to have time with Jesus in the car as opposed to in your house in the morning? I'm not sure about that.
What I do know is that no matter where you are, what you're doing, Jesus loves to spend time with you. He wants to hear your heart - good, bad and ugly - and he's ok if you tell him more than once. He wants your praise - I know that sounds selfish, but when you love someone isn't the best reflection how much you talk about the him/her? That's praising Jesus. We also need to allow the Holy Spirit to direct us and not rely simply on our own humanistic understanding.
So no matter where you are (or I am) - in the car, in your house, or in Starbucks - the important thing is to bring your heart to Jesus. Acknowledge his presence, allow the Holy Spirit to move, and continue to praise him with every breath.
