Running

 As I was sitting down to edit a few pictures that I'd taken of the horses, it came over me that this is exactly how I feel lately.  Like I'm in one big race with life, and I'm running along to the next thing... and honestly, I'm tired of it.


I'm ready to sit and read a book.

I'm ready to really enjoy that cup of coffee.

I'm ready to sit in Gods word, and not feel rushed to jump back up and get busy again.  To sit and truly listen to what He's telling me.

I'm ready to see what I can do to make someones day a little better or easier.

I'm ready to spend some quality time with those I love most.

I'm ready to feel caught up, and on top of my game. To not feel like I'm always a half a day behind.

I'm ready to slow everything down and enjoy the little moments!



I may not be able to slow everything down, as we all know.  Practices, games, dinner, bills, laundry... they'll keep coming at us, but I believe that we have choices through out our day on the things we can cut out.


I'm choosing to cut out perfection or the idea of it.

 I'm choosing not to worry when I only get 2 blog posts out a week.

I'm choosing to embrace that my house is well lived in and might never be as clean as I'd like.

I'm choosing to cut out the unnecessary and embrace the important things in life.



What are you finding that you're having to cut out in order to embrace life a little more?

 XO,
