2020 has been a hard year to measure time away. With “new” routines and unusual calendar interruptions i am unsure what to say when people ask “are you getting your rest?”
While i do believe i have been able to keep holy spiritual balance in my life, since March i cannot really say our family has truly had time away. So, this week we’ve carved out five days to try and properly exhale.
We have not journeyed far away from our jurisdiction but we are now at a new place for us geographically and at least for a short season we will lean towards some recovery of rhythm and solitude of soul.
One verse we all know and likely say aloud as much as any verse is on my mind on Day 1 of our getaway. It’s Psalm 46:10 and i really want to own this verse this week: “Be still and know that I am God!” Of course, time away does not mean time away from God. That would be the opposite of soul solitude. For me, at least.
Extra: This song that by the Imperials is still on my heart following Sunday’s worship service at Ephrata Grace Point. i asked Pastor Chris Shalter early in the week if it could be the response to my message titled “Unity: Showing Up as Carriers of Christ’s Presence.”
Hope Happens HERE!
Presence Matters Most!
No Invisible People! UNITY!
