Princess Sophie kept me company during my quiet time this morning...
I am hanging on with all my heart to these dawn quiet times with the Lord. As we enter this Advent season, my life is pushing and pulling me from all sides and I am weary of body, mind and soul. I see so many changes around me, so many deadlines - and it takes all I have within me to lift my eyes up to Him and His strength, and not down to my lack of it.
And He is faithful.
I've decided to be absent from the blog for a week whilst I ponder what's important and nourish my soul.
I have the new e-zine still to write, but with a clear mind and rest I can do it by Friday, 'God willing', as Nana used to say. If not, it may be a couple of days late, but I think you will forgive me...
If you need a breather this week too, find a way to take it.
Say 'no' to external things that really are not necessary, and say yes to time out for a re-gathering of your thoughts; time to set life aside and remember what is truly good and nourishing to your soul.
Fill your empty spaces with the peace that surpasses all understanding, and don't feel guilty. I'm praying for you...
till next week
Jenny
