Sabbatical...Day 17

It takes a long time to slow down enough in order to rest. How often do we hear, "Take some time off and just rest"? It seems we go at such a pace that we zoom right by the important moments of our days. I have lingered over coffee, good books, and beside the ocean with Dennis. I have left behind the shoulds in order to just be. I am listening more, talking less, and living deeper. God is so gracious. He so often says..."Don't be afraid, Don't worry, Don't let your heart be troubled." I don't think I have taken Him at His word. This is where He and I are starting. He's my rock, my divine therapist, best friend, source of real truth. I am loving Him more each day.
