Quiet Time: Does This Count?

Hello Kindred!


We are getting on toward Easter and Spring Break. Are you as busy as I am? 


Here was my quiet time yesterday: While taking a shower I sang aloud the chorus from Revive Me Again. Here's how I remember it--if this is wrong don't tell me. We first-service people are a little hazy on our hymns.


"Hallelujah! Thine the glory!
Hallelujah! Amen! 
Hallelujah! Thine the glory!
Revive us again!" 


Does this count as a quiet time? I don't know. On the one hand, I sang it pretty loud. On the other hand, my heart was true and longing for revival. I needed Him and the shower, and, in participating fully in His calling, had not enough time for either, much less both. 


I got ready to feel guilty about it and then I just stopped. It was funny. My spirit lifted. I couldn't think of why it wouldn't be pleasing to Him. I did feel revived; I didn't remember to thank Him till this morning, but better late than never.  


Am I hopelessly misguided and pitifully off the mark or am I bold in the nature of the spiritually mature? Would David do this? What about Beth Moore? 


Don't have time today to analyze it! Pray for me, Kindred! I do for you!
