Slow down

I usually never notice when something is a God thing... but this afternoon I definetly experienced a God moment! I was driving home from work, really irritated with interns, my tooth was hurting, my feet hurt, I was hungry and I really just wanted to get to my family and relax....

I always have Klove on while im driving, nick gets annoyed at this... but if you have not ever listened to the radio station Klove it is a very encouraging radio station! I found it after my dad passed away, when I really needed encouragement... and now whenever I am having a bad day I turn it on and magically I either 1) find myself singing along and praising God or 2) turning it down to background music and praying to God...

This afternoon I really needed some encouragement... after mums short visit and really just realizing how much I actually do miss her ( she is the greatest at making me look at both sides of things...) How much I really wish I could be closer to my brother, and most of all the horrid day at work... ( realizing that I will always have bad days its how I look at them that will make them good...) a song came on the radio that I had never heard before... the song is Blink by Revive...

go look up the song now...

anyhow there is a part of the song that caught my attention....

Slow down slow down before the day becomes our yesterday
slow down slow down before you turn around and its to late.

and I was reminded to slow down, this life is already moving to fast why do I need to make it go faster??

I had been counting down the weeks till my husband leaves for Korea and I realized on the drive home to the point I was in tears... that by counting down I am rushing what is already going to come. So why not just enjoy the time and not count it???

Also it made me physically slow down the car... just in time to notice that the cars in front of me had stopped.... I love our God He is truly awesome!

I also realized today that parents like to rush their kids into doing things... we rush to teach them how to sit up, to teach them how to crawl, to walk, to run... to do all of these things and then we say to ourselves I wish they didnt crawl or walk.... why not cherish time which is why i have decided that taylor will walk when she is ready... no need to rush it. I went to check out her school that she will be attending starting monday... they had the toddlers writing with crayons... helping them to write their alphabet... im not so sure I want my daughter rushed into things... but she is very independent so she will make sure they know that she is not ready....


So my point through this is to stop, slow down and enjoy life... dont blink you just might miss something!
