This week has come and gone with the greatest of ease. Man! I’ll tell you what, time slips by before you know it.
This week I was in meeting after meeting it seemed. We ended up in the hospital with Noah’s forehead… I met up with some other youth pastors discussed long range goals… I stressed out. I cleaned our whole front yard(all million walnuts and all) and it seemed like life flew by.
Today I am going to try and slow it down. Take it in. Listen to each moment. Spend time with the kids doing silly things… drawing dinosaurs, birds in nests, cranes, and whatever else Noah’s mind can think of. We’re going to play pirates, build blocks, and legos. Grace will run around and play kitchen, and tag along with big brother. Today won’t come back…
The next time I’ll visit today will be in my memory.
What is one thing you want to slow down and enjoy today?

I want to slow down everything that is keeping me from hearing what God is speaking to me. I need to make time where it is just He & I and I am just listening. That’s hard to do when your mind is filled with all that we think has to get done.
John, Check out this link… it’s a great post by Mark Batterson on the same topic as above! http://evotional.com/2009/10/enjoy-journey.html
Great thought too by the way!
