Slow Down

"I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me-and I in him-bears much fruit, because apart from me you can accomplish nothing."  John 15:5


Having some time off from work and away from the usual hustle and bustle of my normal every day routine has been wonderful and relaxing. It has also made me realize how busy I have been over the past year, and that I haven't necessarily accomplished a whole lot, despite all of my efforts, looking back.


God wants each of us to take the time to be still in his Presence so that he can strengthen us. When we allow God to enter our lives in such a profound way, we will actually do less and accomplish more.


As we prepare for the new year, let's plan to walk closer with God, depending on his strength and trusting him in every situation. 


We can live in peace by walking in the light of his Presence!
