Just stopping by to say that in all of the busyness I haven't been here in a while and I've missed our visits. I'm looking forward to getting back on track. Thanks for the reminder to S.T.O.P!
Love,

A post after my own heart! I love to stop, look and listen. For slow turtle type people like me, the question is often "will you get up and go?" I do more thinking than doing.

But then again, God's spoke to my heart about just BEING STILL and sitting in silence with Him.

Great question. I'm sure that will be echoing in my mind for awhile.

Thank you..

Hugs,

Tiffany

YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!
I just read your "changed" post of mine, and my husband was sitting right here and I read it to him as I went and BOTH of our jaws are dropping!
My goodness!
How did you find me?
How can two totally different families have so much in common?
How can we be so alike?
Again - you are awesome . . . and I can't wait to have time to sit back and read your blog over for however long you've had it!!!
Thank you!
BIG HUGS! Karen

I've enjoyed teaching my children to stop. Our mornings are slow most weekdays and that has been a challenge for them. However, it has been the only way I've been able to protect my time with the Lord everyday in the midst of the possible "I'm bored" statement. They have found imagination fun alone with toys or in a good book. I'm so thankful. We are doing this summer much better than last. Thanks for the encouragement.

With have finally stopped. After a 7 hours drive to the beach. LOL We arrived Saturday at noon. Since then I have only left the condo property twice. Once to eat out and a trip to the store. I am loving it. My father in law has led us in devotion every morning and it has been a real blessing. There is something awesome about the reading of God's word and hearing the crashes of waves on the shore. Only one of God's awesome creations.

Time to stop! And rest at His feet. Delighted to meet you. I hope you don't mind newbies visiting a bit. I popped over from a friend. So glad I did. Thanks for splashing me today with God's goodness and His gentle reminder to stop, just stop and soak in all He has for me today.

Cindy,
I've been feeling this way lately and trying to make time in the morning to pray and read my Bible. It's really helped!

This is great stuff Cindy. Your questions are very significant. The human race tends to be on a quest to see, do and achieve as much as we can in a short time. And, as you've pointed out, we miss out on the really important things - time with God, nature, family, friends, ourselves and so on. My daughter has started hopping into bed with me in the mornings, even falling asleep again, and I have to admit that I love it. It's the little moments of joy that make us appreciate the gift that God has given us. Thanks for the reminder! :)
