Time for slowing
We have a small calendar in our toilet and it had this quote on it from John Ortberg this morning: “May be the biggest barrier to deep connectedness for most of us is simply the pace of our lives. The requirement for true intimacy is chunks of unhurried time.” From the Life you’ve always wanted.
I am aware that Lent for me is about changing my pace. Stopping the outward stimulus and cutting down on head noise and making space for others and space for God. I find this hard because so much of me needs these things to help me know who I am. To give me significance.
But I want to create a place for God’s presence in my life and without stopping or slowing I will miss this and the opportunity to know others more deeply.
