Be still and know that I am God
Psalm 46
Psalm 46
After my last post I went on retreat for a couple of days and found this lovely spot at the place where I was staying. It seemed remarkably similar to the photo that I chose to go in my previous post. I did find here a resting place and was able to let go and focus again on the important things.
I also found some guidance on what to do with the time given me. These are taken from a Benedictine Centre. I share them here in brief and hope that you might find them useful;
- Slow down and rest
- Do nothing
- Prayer
- Browse in the library
- Nature walk
- Talk
- Dialogue with your body
- Make a list of your values
- Art
- Write yourself a letter
- Life inventory
- Life review
- Journalling

In fact, I make a workbook, and taught it at a Women's Retreat and it seemed helpful to many of those women looking for a deeper spirital walk.
Love this Mike, and love how you share your journey with us.
I've been contemplating that very verse. How do I accomplish it when I'm so busy with work, mothering, being a wife, and on and on? I want to go to that place in the picture you posted, but have asked God to create that picture in my heart in the busyness of it all.

was on the same page and ministered to me this same truth.
Thank you, Mike, er Pastor Mike. I think it's fitting. It's good to have you back.
The retreat sounds so refreshing and the photo so peaceful
Love the song you posted. Very meaningful.
Write a letter to myself - now I would really have to think about that one!
Praise HIM!

I hope you found the rest you needed! You may not know it...but you touch many lives!
Quite a list, too!
