Slow Down

Lent 2012

For this Lenten season, I am seeking to use this time to really go deeper into my new year's resolution (Rest).  God continually urges me to slow down and  rest with Him moment by moment throughout the day, and also by taking specified time aside with Him.  I saw one of those guys holding a "SLOW" sign the other day while driving. Little did he know that God was using him to speak to me in the midst of whatever I had going on that day/in my head/on my calendar and/or to-do list.  At one point that day, I looked in the mirror as I was washing my hands and felt God say "slow down" even there!  Moment by moment, just slow down the pace and rest with Him.  Sometimes people sacrifice certain things for Lent, but I just really want to give Him more of my time, heart, and head space and foster a slower, prayerful pace.  Lord, help me :)
