Stillness and Rest {Food For Our Souls}

by Jacque Watkins

Stillness and rest are food for our soulsIMG_2348c IMG_2425 IMG_2426

Stillness and rest are indeed like food to our souls, and to be honest, mine has grown pretty hungry over the past few months. My pace of life seems to run faster and faster as the need arises to I fill every single waking minute of my time with something, just to get it all done. And I’m sure if I add up all the late nights … I’ve missed many nights of sleep.

So, I just wanted you to know that things will be a bit quieter around here for the next couple weeks, as I’ll be taking some time off to travel and spend time with family. We are SO excited to get away!

Denise and Tracie will be posting for the next couple weeks about our journey through Mended and I will have some reminders for you about that! And while I’ll have sporadic access to the internet, I’m going to  try to share on Instagram and Twitter as I can.

As I go, my prayer for us all, is to choose … with intention … to still our hearts more.

Taking more time to rest …

Turning our hearts toward those we love..

Giving thanks for all He’s given…

And as Ann says … slowing time with the weight of our full attention.

Do you struggle with being too busy?

What has helped you?
