I just had a conversation with a good friend about this. I shared this verse with her yesterday:
Cease striving and know that I am God.
-Psalm 46:10
Thank you…

I would often say ‘one pair of hands, one thing at once is all i can do’ and yet now i am at home all i can do is one thing at once and lots of statio or pauses.

I like the idea of pausing before starting another activity. I’m going to try it.

Sometimes I find myself rushing through my prayers instead of really focusing on who I am talking to. I wouldn’t want my spouse to treat me that way, so why would I ever treat God like I’ve more important things to do than spend time with Him?
I may not always have an hour to pray, but the time I do have I need to really tune into God and make sure it’s quality time.

Ooh, great point, Lyli. Those rests can make all the difference. Love the analogy. Reminds me also of the need for margins in our books….

No, I haven’t read ‘In-Between’ yet, but I do have it on my Kindle. I need to bump it up on my to-read list. I loved Goins’ ‘Wrecked’.

Just got the sample of “Not So Fast” sent to my Kindle. Sounds like a book I’d appreciate. Thanks, Dolly!

I thought about you yesterday, Joe, as I was feeding my dog. 🙂 I’m going to try to use that time now like you do, as a “pause and reflect” moment. Thanks, friend!
