It is so easy to forget that while these times are not "productive" in a getting-something-particular-accomplished sense, we NEED them. <BR/><BR/>LL - I love the losing track of time. I read an author once (forgetting who at the moment) who said we are not only preparing for, but also living in eternity even now. Glimpses of eternity & rest: I suppose we can find those, even here on earth. Once found, it is so hard to let them go! <BR/><BR/>"Be still & know that I am God." Oh, the doors stillness & knowing can open...<BR/><BR/>Christianne - Thank you. I find the Lord is steering me into these times more & more (or maybe I'm just paying better attention now). I am a woman in desperate need of an arrow pointing to heaven to remind me where my gaze should be. Your visits here are always a blessing to me; thank you once again.<BR/><BR/>BMM - I can't imagine what it must be like as a mom; I can barely find the time and I'm only taking care of myself! Thank you again for sharing. As always, I appreciate and am blessed by your visits.<BR/><BR/>Ilse - I'm looking forward to this coming weekend too! I think it's been a couple years since we've seen each other in person. Thank you also for sharing your own experience in stillness. Sometimes I go asking to hear a particular truth, but lately I think He's just teaching me to wait on Him ... just as you were saying.kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09789771023962578029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064478678164369045.post-83358556353002961162007-03-26T21:46:00.000-04:002007-03-26T21:46:00.000-04:00This reminded me of the encounter I had with God a...This reminded me of the encounter I had with God at the beginning of February during an extended time of silence to focus on him. As usual, my mind couldn't stay still, and i kept saying "but God what do you want me to wait for?" and his response was always "just wait" - and i would question, and he would respond "just wait" - So often God is doing a work that is bigger than we can possibly understand, and all we can do is wait - I realize how impatient i am when I marvel at God's patience with me.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to see you this weekend - will call you later this week to check about the details. I'm staying at Eric and Nichole's - because my parents are housing my cousin and her fiance, so my schedule is basically open for saturday night.ilsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16732813967487114997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064478678164369045.post-12421551721864088592007-03-26T14:02:00.000-04:002007-03-26T14:02:00.000-04:00lovely sentiments, kirsten. i love these peaceful ...lovely sentiments, kirsten. i love these peaceful and "Still" moments....hard to find being a mom, where i'm never truly by myself.<BR/><BR/>i used to love driving up on the blue ridge parkway and had favorite overlooks and spots that we'd hike up to. there was one particular waterfall that i could sit by for hours...<BR/><BR/>"So I sat still and listened. I felt the breeze move past my face, I looked across the lake at the steep hillside thick with evergreens, each one an arrow pointing heavenward. I listened to the water lap, lap, lap gently against the sand and rocks, simply letting myself be quiet. Moments this still are rare. I closed my eyes and breathed deeply. Listen.".......

I loved the descriptions throughout -- the hurrying to the favorite spot, the wind breezing along your face, and especially the evergreens pointed heavenward.

I do too. I want to stay forever. Maybe that's it, too... it is a glimpse of eternity and rest...<BR/><BR/>Loved hearing about your silent excursion. Beautiful.L.L.
