Is it hard for you to sit quietly & reflect?
It requires discipline and self control when the distractions are loud.
Guess what? The distractions will always be there but if you look and listen close enough, the refreshing dew is there as well.
Has there been any refreshing dew from the first 6 days of Rest & Risk that you would like to share with us?

Oh, my goodness…it *is* difficult! Those distractions are so tempting…and I’m so aware that I need to hear God, to actually *hear* Him. Sometimes, I wish I could hear Him the way Adam and Eve could actually “hear”, instead of just looking for reflections of His kindness in people, and traces of His mercy in hindsight…

I love your site. It’s very refreshing and I think this 31 days topic is a fantastic topic! Thank you so much. My mom and I are also writing for the 31 days link in. Our topic is Fall Farm Nesting. I’d love for you to read some our writing also http://www.narrowgatefarms.net I’m looking forward to keeping up with your blog!
I would love to be revitalized by the Almighty, but a personal question for you: How do YOU do it? How does the discipline form? How do you sit quietly? What are you listening for/ waiting for when you sit quietly? Maybe this questions indicates that I am even too busy in thinking/ searching while I try to sit and rest…
Sarah – Right now, it means grabbing my camera, a book & a journal and find some time to take pictures, write & read. Sometimes it’s having lunch with a friend. Sometimes it’s going for a drive. Or listening to music. I think the seasons of life we go through dictates how we sit quietly. When my kids were infants/toddlers there was not a lot of time to sit quietly! Now, I have 2 hours a day when all of my kids are in school. It’s up to me how I choose to use that time.
