Life seems to be constantly changing, and do my Bible-reading routines. It looked different when pregnant with my first, as a new mom, with two-under-two and now with a toddler and baby in my care. Sometimes, I miss those days of unstructured quiet time where each precious second of quiet didn’t feel quite so urgent.
