Remember when I said that finding time to write was a battle
to overcome? And that it’s a fight I want to win?
Yeah.
And then the very next week, I missed my first-ever Thursday
posts out of the last 53 Thursdays. (Now, not once but twice!)
Key *audible sigh*
I’m in that kind of season.
But the Lord is good, and He always meets me where I am.
I am amazed by His grace every day.
At the end of last week, when I had accomplished more “to
do” list items than I thought was possible, I told my best friend, “That’s a
miracle. Literally, God’s miracle to me.”
I’ve added Shauna Niequist's Present over Perfect to my reading wish list. Doesn’t that sound
like a title for me?
At the end of September, I had the privilege to hear Shauna
speak—along with absolute favorite: Jen Hatmaker.
My sister and I enjoyed a girls weekend in Dallas where we
attended the Belong tour—a women’s conference that in addition to Niequist and
Hatmaker, included Nicole Nordeman, Sharon Irving, Patsy Clairemont, and
JohnnySwim.

My take-away?
Be you.
Be still.
Be present.
Be willing.
This fall already feels so busy. But isn’t that always true?
It’s my choice to be intentional, to be present.
TO BE STILL.
When I choose that, I always find Him waiting, ready to
refresh and refill.
When I choose that, I’m reminded that He’s surrounded me
with great friends and family and a husband who is a rockstar.
That’s my choice to choose in this season--to be still, to slow down, to see, to be present.
What about you, my friend? Is this a busy season for you? At
work? At home? With your kids and schedules?
I encourage you with the same take-away I had:
Be you.
Be still.
Be present.
Be willing.
