Don't let busyness rob you of God's presence. Life moves fast. Between commuting, working, parenting, and the countless demands of everyday living, we often feel there's no time left for God. But what if the very moments you rush through are the ones where He's waiting to meet you? In You're Not Too Busy: It's God's Time Anyway, Pamela Nance Johnson offers 31 days of powerful devotionals that weave together Scripture, prayer, and song suggestions. These short, spirit-filled reflections prove that no matter where you are - on a train, in a waiting room, during a lunch break God is always present and ready to speak. •Through her authentic voice and lived experiences, Pamela reminds us that: • Small beginnings matter when they're rooted in faith. • God's timing is never late, even when it feels delayed. • Your light may be the only Bible someone else reads. • Prayer, scripture, and worship can transform any ordinary day into holy ground. This devotional is more than encouragement - it's a call to reclaim your time for God. Because the truth is: you're not too busy. It's His time anyway. |
