      Thanks for sharing, Bev. I’m hanging in there, too. Trying to learn to embrace the slow, but still trying to remember how! You know it’s been too long since you’ve slowed down when you can’t remember how! God is good, though. Glad you’re doing well. 🙂 ((hug))

    Always amazed how some words can just stop me in my tracks . Like a much needed breath of fresh air – a light being turned on. These were some of those words. Thank you for this beautiful quote this week and the opportunity to join in again with your Link Up.

Anyone else feel like April snuck in through the b Anyone else feel like April snuck in through the back door while we were still greeting January in the foyer?
.
Pretty sure I just said this about March exactly a day ago.
.
Slow down, Time! What’s your rush?!
.
Truth is, time doesn’t wait for us, but faithfully surrenders to the rhythmic path its Maker ordered it to trek.
.
Friend, are you feeling like all the plans you had great hopes for back in January got caught in the undercurrent of Time’s fast pace?
.
Guess what? It’s a fresh month, a fresh quarter, a fresh day full of new mercy & strength.
.
I haven’t incorporated exercise as much this year as I’d like, so I’m setting some new exercise goals for April!
.
What about you, friend? What new thing might you pick up, or pick back up, in April?
.
We’ve got this! Move over January, April has a seat at the Change Table, too!
.
Cheering you on, friend! On April 30th, what will we wish we had done this month? THAT, let’s get up & go do that! 💗🎉

How easy it is to forget that our source is not fr How easy it is to forget that our source is not from within ourselves, nor from our hustle.
.
True life & ministry & purpose is found only when we remain nestled in the Vine.
.
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5)
.
What are you working so hard to do in your own strength today, friend?
.
Let’s lay our striving down, and reconnect to the Source of all we’ve ever really needed—Jesus.
