Taking time to be still and know that God IS...

It's been a hectic & busy month so far.... Lent has seemed to gotten to be too busy imho... where is my time to slow down and reflect? And getting tax stuff done, bookkeeping, and other things has seemed to overtake my life lately. UGH!

But tonite was a welcome respite ... our Wed. night Lenten series at Church featured guest speaker, Fr. Gregory, from the Order of Julian of Norwich. He spoke on prayer, and taking time to be still, silent, listen and just enjoy being in God's presence. And when those "busy things" come into your mind, simply claim them for what they are, and then give them to God, getting back to clearing your mind and your spirit to be more open to resting in the Lord, and then maybe "hearing" what God may be saying to you in and through your time of silence and meditation.

It was a good teaching, and a "practice" time of 10 minutes of silence, which, to me, went by like it was only a minute! Thanks Fr. Gregory for the teaching and reminders to be still and know that God just IS!
