Stop Moving to Breathe.

I'm beginning to understand just how important it is to be alone and do nothing.

Life is really busy right now. And I'm not blaming life, because its MY life. I choose the agenda and I am choosing to be busy, and I love it. However, it’s making me realize how easily life just slips by when we fill each waking hour to capacity. Even when I'm doing things I love everyday, there is something to be said for time to just be still.

Be still.

My mom said to me the other day as I was franticly getting ready to run off somewhere or other, "If you ever want to write you need to just stop and take time to be alone." I hate when people tell me things, and I know they are right. I think it makes me mad because I wish I could have realized it on my own. However, that is stupid. Of course I have many amazing people in my life because I need them.

When I'm always doing something there is no time to work through what I'm feeling, what I'm learning and where I should be going.

If God was shouting at me right now I still don't know if I'd hear him.

That scares me, since I am well aware that there isn't anything I need more right now than to hear that voice. I need to change something.
