Slowing Down

"Have no idea how to begin slowing down? Have no idea what you could let go? Is it just too confusing? Afraid you or your family will miss something? Go to God with your schedule. Place all activities on the altar. Wait on Him. Share your heart with your husband. Let your husband set your schedule. Look over activities very carefully, evaluating them honestly. Do they work toward the call that God has for your family? Are they necessary? Do they compete for "down-time" that your family really needs to fellowship, rest, and develop a lifestyle of learning? Commit to finding God's plan for your day! Listen to your sweet husband. Look objectively at those tempting activities! Reach for the very, very best use of your day! Then, you will find God pulling you back into a pace that you can continue the journey till the end!"
