I’m getting there. Thank you for sharing, friend! Hope you had a great weekend!

When I was raising my kids, I had to work to balance the running and the staying. I did not like living without adult companionship. I was raised with five kids, three sisters. There was always excitement and plenty of hysteria too. When someone told me adrenaline was an addictive chemical…I had to slow down. It took some new rhythms. But I feel so much more at peace!

Exactly where I have lived so long. I sure don’t live in the now every single moment, but He’s teaching me the beauty of it, and I’m so thankful for that. Hope you’re having a great weekend, friend!

Hope you’re having a great weekend, my friend! Blessings!

I always wanted new and different…and found myself anxious for the next thing. So often His word has been – be still. not now. I have learned to wait. His timing is excellent and I have not been disappointed. So happy to read your words of contentment in the rhythm of NOW.

I, too, have a roaming soul. I like new places and new experiences, but I have learned to go deeper by staying. Thanks for your words!

Our rhythm varies, depending on the day, but I’m truly enjoying the pace of staying home with my girl and just enjoying each other. It’s truly a gift. Have a great weekend, friend!

Thank you for your encouragement, friend…have a wonderful weekend!
