Six days away – the first four.

The good and bad in life leave something in us, but they also take something out of us.

Sometimes God brings people into our lives.

Sometimes He takes them away.

But life goes on.

Who you are in the last chapters of your life is shaped by what happens in the first chapters of your life.

Maybe you feel that God is very silent in your life. Maybe you asked Him for answers and He isn’t answering. Maybe you don’t feel like anything’s happening in your life. Maybe you think life is too… ordinary.

Maybe it’s time to take a second look at that burning bush.

Maybe in the ordinary course of your life, there’s something special God wants you to look at. Not always something for you, but something for blessing others.

And sometimes… there are things that we need to give up.

Sometimes it’s when we’re quiet that we hear our heart.

Sometimes it isn’t easy to capture who you are because you’re too focused on other things.

Sometimes you manage to capture yourself, but… is that really you?

Time is a gift.

Sometimes time flies. Sometimes it stops. When it does, maybe it is a time for our inner being to catch up with our physical being:

“Hey. We’re finally… free!”

The Place of Stop.
