“We don’t get to our futures any faster if we hurry. And we certainly don’t become better people in haste. More likely than not, the faster we go the less we become.”
When thinking about the coming new year I am reminded that I need to take life slow. Savor moments, lessons, trials, joys, success. Take it all in. Learn from everything. Prioritize and follow through. Breath. Stop and...
Pray. For it is fellowship with God. Pray. For it is a beckoning to join with God in accomplishing His eternal purposes. Pray. For it truly changes things. Pray. For it is a means of confession + fighting sin. Pray. For it is an act of humility.

The song “Swept Away” by the Avett Brothers will undoubtedly be played at my wedding someday.
“…Well life is ever changing but I will always find a constant and comfort in your love. With your heart my soul is bound and as we dance I know that heaven will be found.”
