I'm Reminding Myself ...

Sometimes I have to remind myself to slow down and ... breathe!

I don't want to waste one moment of my life. God has given me my life and there are so many people to love, so many things to do, so many books and letters (and blog posts!) to write ... for Him. But sometimes I try way too hard not to waste one moment ... and then I forget to listen to my heartbeat - I miss 'the wonder of the here and now' and 'the miracle of the moment.'

So ... today I'm reminding myself to:

"... breathe it in and breathe it out

Listen to your heartbeat
There’s a wonder in the here and now
It’s right there in front of you
And I don’t want you to miss
The miracle of the moment!"

What a good reminder. We do need to take time to just sit back and think about what we're doing. Is it honoring to God? And then to just sit and listen to what He's teaching. Life goes too fast as it is, it doesn't need help.

You're right ... life does go too fast as it is ...
