I'm religious. In fact, I'm very religious in the God is my Father and I love talking to Him and worshiping Him kind of way. Part of my thing besides my strong ability to have strong faith is my continuous need and desire to pray or communicate with my Father daily. I talk to Him A LOT and by that I mean I think I fall pretty close to the prayer warrior line. My only thing is I don't do "out loud" praying or reading very well. I can do it and I do sometimes, but I don't seem to like it as much as in my head prayer. I don't think that says much about my spiritual life or anything like that, but I do admit that it makes it more difficult to pray and do Bible study with Nicole, which I would like to be doing more often.
We purchased a daily devotional for reading before we go to bed every night, which we do most nights, but this only consists of me reading the daily passages and only sometimes praying out loud. I want to figure out how to pray out loud more before we have kids. We both want to raise our children with prayer and communication with God being both something we do as a family and individually. This means that I need to get use to not only being seen praying, but using my vocal cords to make it happen more often.
I know that more is caught, then taught when it comes to children and I really believe that to be true. This means that I welcome my children catching me praying and I know that they will, but I also need to pray to be more willing to use my voice in prayer more often so my children can catch what I am saying in our prayers too.
