if i just had more time to smell the flowers
do you ever want to sleep away a day? do you ever wish you could stop time? wouldnt it be great if you could get everything done on time that you planned and still had energy? i feel like the more i rest and relax the more i realize how much it is so vital. sense being in moravian falls i feel like i am suspended in time, that as i am here the world is still spinning every where else. it feels like im in the “now what” stage. but the funny thing is i know “what” it just that it isnt time yet.
the truth is we all say “if i just had more time” but the real truth is not what is important but what is essential to you. in a world of fast pace and fast food it is so easy to sacrifice our selves for the needs of those around us but where is the balance where is the understanding of knowing when to go in to the wilderness for a while and when do you minister to the multitude? i find myself learning what is the priority what is essential to the plan and destiny God has given me.
it is said that time is our most precious commodity its worth can only be measured by what we do with the time we have. we never stop always trying to use our time to the best of our ability, striving every second of every day to reach some goal that we have set for our selves never satisfied when we reach it.
i have heard it said that you should “take the time to smell the flowers” i have started to do that every time i see a flower take the time to smell it enjoy its color and unique shape and design, think about it and wonder how God could make such a beautiful thing.
i have found that if i really want to find God i have to take time to find the beauty in everything.

Jess, you are amazing. It is true. Life is what you choose. It is a choice of your priorities. Do we choose life or death? Do we choose God’s best or what is allowed? Are we moving forward or just treading water? Resting and speaking to God are moving forward. God wants our us to “enjoy the journey” along the way. God bless your journey. Enjoy. Can’t wait to see you. We love you. On the wings of a dove, Mom
Hey you. This is soooo true. I loved reading this. Just like mom says…”enjoy the journey” but I think we have to remind ourselves that it is truly a journey that we are on. It’s in the simple things…and the child like ways that we truly find time to rest in the Kingdom.
Love you.
Hey.This REALLY spoke to me.Like you don’t even know.There is so much going on right now.I need to stop and smell the flowers.Just stop…
We are missing you here in Fl. I hope all is well.
