Imagine this: For one afternoon you get to sit in the sunlight on a warm southern porch with Jesus, asking anything you want, talking just as you would with your best friend. Coffee in hand, sunlight on your bare feet, and easy conversation between the two of you.
Think about it: Just you and Jesus on the porch on a warm afternoon. What would you talk about? What would you ask Him? Or, would you just be silent and enjoy the moment together?
This is how we can, in fact, spend time with Jesus. Just like the conversations you have had with a friend so close to you that she knows your deepest secrets: and loves you still. That's exactly how Jesus wants us to come to Him. Just as we are, without fancy language or pretenses, bringing our secrets and deepest longings of our hearts to share with Him.
Did you know that the Savior of the world also longs for that kind of time with you? So, let's do it! I've started this blog as a place to share stories of faith and evidences of God's hand in the simplest of things.
Make no mistake: Jesus longs for us to get to know Him, and He wants to spent time with you. He longs to share not only the biggest details of our lives, but also the simple musings as we go along our day, driving to appointments, children's activities, work and grocery shopping. He longs to share our life, even the tiny, humdrum, minuscule aspects of it.
So, grab a cup of coffee and share some time with Jesus. He's sitting there on the porch waiting to hear from you.
WELCOME PROVERBS 31 READERS!
In case you haven't guessed, I am still in creation mode for this personal blog! I'll be posting on a regular basis from now on, so please come back and share your own stories with me!
In the meantime, please visit my blog http://www.walkingwithalec.com/. I've been keeping this one since 2004. It's a journal of how God has intimately walked with our family during our journey with autism.
A bit more about me: I'm currently working on a faith-based book for Kregel Publications about autism to be completed this year. More to come!

What if you could sit on the porch with Jesus?
