I get trapped in the “hurry” more than I care to admit but I’m determined to spend more time enjoying the in between because that’s the stuff that matters.
We were not created to hurry. We were created to be still with the Creator. God never calls us to race around in a hurried mess, yet we sprint towards an ever-shifting finish line hoping to find worth. We convince ourselves that if we just keep moving, everything will work out — but it never does.
Hurry does not have to be our choice. When we choose to be still, healing from the hurry happens.
Where is stillness in motherhood? It’s everywhere. Rejecting hurry and embracing stillness as moms happens when we:
Sing a song.
Write a letter.
Say a prayer.
Read a book.
Listen to a voice.
Heal a wound.
Give a smile.
Make a day.
Kiss a cheek.
Play a game.
Take a breath.
Chase a dream.
Value a life.
The hurry makes us hurt. Stillness brings healing. Today, I will listen to the longings of my soul and choose to be still.
