I definitely need this quiet time too– for listening to God, my husband, my children and myself.
I got some extra time with my oldest yesterday too. I had to pick him up early for a doctor’s appointment, so after we were done there, we had some time where we went to the store to pick out “big boy” underwear and then to explore a new playground. It was wonderful and was exactly what I needed before I plunged into today.

Oh, goodness- I have been feeling this lately! Today, while trying to get laundry done so I could go run errands in time to be home for dinner, I could not get my 2 year to walk downstairs to the laundry room. Instead he wanted to run around on the front lawn. I fought him for a few minutes and then thought- why am I fighting this? Moments like that are so important. After 15 minutes of running, watching little leaves fall and watching the cars go by, we both felt refreshed and he did not even fight me getting into his car seat. It made me realize how little time I leave for moments and listening and enjoying. Thanks so much for this sweet reminder!

You are so right. I find myself doing the same thing … keeping me, my husband and our boys so busy that I/we can’t hear God. I’ve been working on slowing things down, making time to enjoy my family and my blessings. Glad you had time with your little girl.

Lately, my hearing hasn’t been so great. My body screaming at me that I need to slow down, God whispering to me that I need to re-prioritize… This is the third or fourth post I’ve read from different blogs (all by Christian women) about getting rid of the “clutter” of hurry. The culture of our country, however, sometimes demands that we constantly be doing… I’m consciously making the changes to stop doing.

Great post Sarah!

Great post. I spent a much-needed “quiet” day yesterday as well.
Ahhhhhhh

I need that quiet, too….often !
otherwise I miss out on all that’s around me and don’t realize it until it’s too late….

That quiet time is so important – for everything. I find the weeks where we’re booked solid are so trying for so many reasons. You’re right, you can’t hear anything. We’re pretty schedule free right now (The kids are under three) but I keep saying that I swear we won’t over schedule ourselves as they get older and busier… but I have a feeling that will be a challenge.
