Slow down...Jesus is up ahead

So, maybe I’ll write more. I’ve come to really enjoy writing. I enjoy sharing things God is teaching me or has taught me. And I hope He ministers to you as you read my blogs. Feel free to write to me or share thoughts back. I enjoy hearing from you. Yesterday afternoon, it was kind of rainy. I put on some acoustic music and a candle and was just relaxing. It felt so good.

I’m not always the most disciplined person, although I am getting better. But I want to make a note today, how starting your day with the Lord makes all the difference. I know everyone has jobs, or school, or homework, or sports, or other activities. And I’ve had those days where I don’t see a possible way to sit down and make time with the Lord. But I’m learning that it’s impossible not to. On the craziest days (and every day), I’ve found that if I make that time to slow down and meet with Jesus, everything else seems to fall in to place. Magically, all the work that seems overwhelming doesn’t seem so bad, and Jesus is a great guy to do your work with ;-)

So many people, myself included, just rush through our days much of the time. We don’t take time to “stop and smell the flowers.” And it’s like we’re flying down this road, not paying attention to anything and we miss the whole “Slow down...Jesus is up ahead.” So we go flying by, only to realize a few days down the road, that we completely missed Him and never connected with Jesus. My challenge to myself, and to any of you who have sat down to read this is to make that time every morning to start your day with the Lord. It’ll change your life.
