one of the biggest challenges of my job is sitting. sitting in a small space for several hours not doing anything else but sitting in front of a computer.
i'm a creature of movement and bore easily, so just as soon as i jump on something, I'm dreaming of something else. dreaming is good, going is good but it's also good to stop for a minute.
my spiritual life is reflective of this as well, i've noticed. ideas come in and go, lessons are written up, worship practice gets done and my soul gets overwhelmed with the busyness of it all that in the middle of everything i tend to forget the reason behind it all.
In all the hustle and bustle, He wants me to be still and soak in His glory.
when Moses made his way up to Mount Sinai to meet with God, he soaked in every word, every emotion that came from being before the Lord. when he returned His face radiated from God's presence that all the people were able to see.
as i sit here and type, i wonder how much does my face reflect His glory when I lead worship or teach a lesson, or does it reflect restlessness from just keeping busy, not soaking it all in?
i realize that many times i've set to study His word, i don't shut my thoughts out completely to know He is God breathing that word into me.
be still. my soul be still for He is here.
this weekend while we head out to do errands, spend family time, and go to church stand still enough to hear Him speaking to your heart. it's the most beautiful sound to hear.
have a wonderful blessed weekend!!

This is such a wonderful reminder, God help us to always wait, long enough to listen to that still small voice.
I really enjoy your blog & glad to be following along! Your posts are so inspirational & lovely little reminders I need daily! =D
love this - i am very much like yourself and this is an area i really do struggle with. i am a multitasker so i'm always thinking about 10 different things. I definitely need to quiet my mind more and make room for his voice!
amen. need to learn this every day.
thank you sweet lady!
i think we as women tend to do this so much, think, think, and think so more. we definitely need to quiet down, what He has to say is super good for our lives. thank you for reading and commenting christine!
