having a mary heart

"be mild and cleave to gentle things, they glory and thy happiness be there"

this life is not a race. it is not a contest, it is not a competition.
it is not about grabbing things, getting things, moving things and it is not always about making things happen. which is hard for me.
i like progress, i like to get things done. i get impatient.
but lately God has been telling me over and over that i need to take this slowly and deliberately. grace is not rushed, love is not hurried, and i need to settle into the timing of God and the easy grace that comes with it.
i am enough,
i have enough.

"What i'm trying to do here is get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving... Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out."
Matthew 6:31-33
