Im trying to slow down my pace and learn to linger. Last Sunday was unlike any before as I got very intentional with my actions. Want to come along and join me in stopping the chaos and madness for today? My unrushed Sabbath looks a little like this: - Keeping a 6am appointment to seek God in prayer - Setting an unrushed tone and pace first thing in the morning and carrying that throughout the day - Less planned activities on the calendar; more time to sit, reflect, rest, read, and linger - Less focus on the never ending to-do list; more focus on recharging my mind, body and soul - Resisting the temptation to plow ahead from one thing to the next. Accept a natural rhythm. - Let. It. Go. - Breathing a little deeper, and slowing down to take in the life and people God has purposefully surrounded me with. Exhale. Heres a great quote from a 40 Day Devotional Im reading, Draw the Circle by Mark Batterson: If we hit our knees, the Holy Spirit will do the heavy lifting. If we hit our knees, the Holy Spirit will reveal things that can only be discovered in the presence of God. If we hit our knees, the Holy Spirit will give us God-ideas for our ministry, family, business - for our lives. (pg 55, Draw the Circle) #thebestyes #unrushme
