Slow Down

One of the best things about blizzards is that the entire city shuts down, the police tell you to stay home and off the roads, and you are forced to slow down. Our lives get going so fast and we end up running from place to place, non stop, never really taking anytime to slow down and enjoy the small moments of life.

I know that I am guilty of doing too many things and never slowing down. When I am forced to stay in because there are giant snow drifts outside of my window and all over the road it is almost like a little vacation. A time to stay home and spend time with my family and with God. A time to drink hot chocolate and curl up with a good book or the Bible.

I encourage you to take advantage this storm to spend some extra time with God. Here’s what I am going to do: I am going to read the book of Galatians and drink some hot coffee. I am going to slowly read God’s word and allow it to warm my heart and soul. I am going to take the time to allow God to engage my heart as the snow falls outside. What are you going to do?

The blizzard outside is an opportunity to slow down and really spend some extra time connecting with Christ. I encourage you to take advantage of it and see what happens.
