Our culture craves and thrives on busyness and in the church, we would benefit more from hearing this message on silence and stillness. Yes, our culture has made busyness a badge of honor. I am a wife of a wonderful, godly man and physician and mom to three wonderful kids, so sometimes it is tough to find the time to be still. Thankfully, our whole family is learning that God does want silence and stillness for us at times. For years, I fell into Satan's traps of busyness, thinking as servants in the church, we need to be "BUSY" and do more, when really what is more important is being with our Father. The doing then just becomesa natural response. I did a blog few weeks back on this same topic, because it is an area where God has been really changing in me these last few years. If you can learn this lesson at such a young age and impart it to many other Christians, it could be such a blessing in the church. The body of Christ needs to hear this message. Thanks and blessings to you! Wendy Ingram Colorado Springs, Colorado Jeremy,
