quiet

this week is going to be crazy.
so many things going on each day.
i literally have a list for each day of the things the kids need to remember to bring to school, what i need to bake that day, etc.
it's ridiculous.

and it threatens to be a week of very little quiet.
but i will fight for it.
it might be very late...or very early {more likely}...but i will find it.

because it's all for naught unless my eyes are on Him.

"You know something? That still, small voice will never shout. God's methods don't change because we are so noisy and busy. He is longing for your attention, your undivided and full attention. He wants to talk with you in times of quietness
about your need for understanding, love, compassion, patience, self-control, a calm spirit, genuine humility . . . and wisdom. But He won't run to catch up. He will wait and wait until you finally sit in silence and listen."

"We will not become men of God without the presence of solitude."
