In today’s life update, I want to talk about the importance of slowing. God lead me to 2 things that I’m supposed to meditate on. I started the new year with so many ideas. The more time that passed, I realized I was only supposed to be focused on these specific things.

“True vision has more restraints than liberties.” Once you figure out what you’re called to, it will often cause you to say no more than yes. As I’ve been in a season of slowing, I have found a true place of peace. When we pray and read, it’s important for us to not try and outsmart the plans of God. Faith is simply believing God.

Slowing down is scary to me. Letting go of control hits my ego. As I slow down, I’m lead to a place of trust and dependence on my father. There comes a point when we have to be willing to look weird for the sake of following Jesus. Psalm 23 has been my passage of scripture for the year. There is one prayer that I’ve been praying that I believe will completely change my life.

This year is about trusting the one who knows me better than me. Sometimes we’re not bad people, we’re just tired. We need to be refreshed by the streams of living water. There are moments in time when he calls us into a slower life.
