"i've spent half my life rushing so not to waste it, and wasted half my life by trying to rush it."

john said this to me last night while we were talking about our future plans and past experiences. i admit that we rush into things, jump on an idea too fast, get so excited that we come up with all the reasons why we should. but in the midst of it all it feels so right...why? because we prayed about it, because it seems to be the Lord's will, because WE want to or because we think we should?

so how do you slow down? how do you learn to wait? how do you know if it's the right thing?

consiously slow down, pray more and more pointed, more broad. don't think about how we are going to make a difference...make it better, rather how God will be glorified, how He will make make a difference. and wait - actively, enjoy, live - with our eyes open...ready!
