Space

Do you ever feel like you are drowning in the midst of life?
Feel overwhelmed?
Take some space...



eat breakfast alone at a coffee shop and linger over the pages of a book...read about the Israelites exodus from Egypt (uninterrupted)...and pen some thoughts in your journal...



drive on the road less traveled...pull over and listen to a woodpecker...












                                                  gaze at a distant barn...

get some perspective...
take a break...
take a day to rest...
Be Still...
and Know that He is God!

Thank you to my sweet husband for blessing me with a mommy's day off!

Hosanna


Praise is rising, eyes are turning to You, 
we turn to You
Hope is stirring, hearts are yearning for You,
we long for You
'Cause when we see You, we find strength to face the day
In your presence all our fears are washed away, washed away
Ho-san-na, ho-sanna
You are the God who saves us,
worthy of all our praises.
Ho-san-na, ho-sanna
Come have Your way among us 
We welcome You here, Lord Jesus
Hear the sound of hearts returning to You,
we turn to You
In your Kingdom broken lives are made new,
You make us new!

The words of this song in bold melted my heart in worship this morning.  So did some of the words of my husband's sermon this morning about Change..."You see even the painful, hurting places in our lives are often the very places God works."- Reverend Beau
Hope you had a "Happy Sabbath" as my old seminary neighbor would say.
