The Quiet Place

 

Time and time again I come to realize how important it is to have some quiet time. Every time i have a spare minute, my mind goes immediately to the list of things i ought to be doing and the things that i have not yet done. Even in the times where i say i will have some quiet time, i start thinking to myself.. maybe i should read a book, maybe i should listen to some music, maybe i should go to my social media accounts, maybe i should check on so and so and then poof! there goes my quiet time, i get up and start doing a fraction of what id say i would do. This morning i was thinking to myself that i actually havent had quiet time where my mind has not gone in a million different directions, for some time now. i have realised also that for me, it is a very conscious thing to actually be still. you know the Bible verse that says Be still and know that I am God? well, it is quite a hard thing.. i have at times likened it to trying to tame my toddler and get her to stay still for a minute.. haha.. almost impossible. yet when done, i feel so centered, so calm. I pray that you and I both will take more time to consciously be still. Early mornings work for me, albeit for about 10 minutes. when i get my baby to unlatch and i start on her breakfast. In that time, just take a minute to sit still, allow your mind to meditate on God's goodness in your life and calm your mind and spirit.

Another place that i find calmness is by the ocean, or with my cup of coffee sitting on my stairs before anyone has woken up and the pressures of life start.

I hope this makes sense to you and i hope you get a few minutes today to be calm and find yourself centered. It is in these calm moments that the soft Voice of the Spirit speaks to you.

I love you and God bless you!
