Learning to Slow Down..

In the last couple years the Lord has been dealing with me about my pace. About four years ago I almost completely mentally broke down. I was working almost seven days a week with little to no time for myself. I worked a full time job during the week, then on nights and weekends I was djing. Sunday mornings I would drag myself out of bed and help lead a college and career class. At the end of the day when my head would hit the pillow I wouldn't even remember sleeping. I was getting about 5-6 hours a night of sleep or less.

To be honest I felt completely numb. Who have had I become? Where was I going? Where is the little girl that loved to play in her garden?

I remember beating my chest and screaming, Please God help me feel again. After years of struggles God has helped me in so many ways find my way back. Through years of denial, depression, and anger I finally realized I was hiding. Hiding from God and what he wanted of me. I didn't want to listen so I kept myself busy.

Now God is still teaching me how to slow down and I thank him every day. Here is a really incredible talk about Learning To Slow Down. It will really make you look at life through different eyes. We are all victims of the fast paced society. I hope that some day I will be slow enough to be a great mother to my children like this man is trying to be with his son.
