on Being Still...


Hi Dolls,

.....I rented the movie "Be Still - and know that I am God"

I started watching yesterday...it is soo good! All about fighting this go go go society..sitting quietly and listening to God's whisper....I did that this morning, like I usually do, but I had to really fight my inner thoughts...I kept trying to talk to him...and once I finally got quiet and listened...I heard him...To me he said..."eliminate"....I don't know why...but it coinsides with "Be Still" because when we eliminate all these excesses in life..we hear him.

That is going to be my goal this weekend. I have already eliminated a lot of stuff...because of our financial situation...but more needs to go! We can eliminate a lot...clothing, clutter, food, bad relationships, negative tv or radio, cell phones...there is so much in our society today that we think we need. I LOVE electronics and technology...don't get me wrong...we just need to know when they need to be turned off.

I am also going to work on being quiet more and listening overall.

A quick thought for the day from Blessed Femina...via A Wise Women Builds Her Home..

Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!"
-Psalm 107:1

  1. I'll have to look for this dvd. I actually got rid of my cell phone almost 5 years ago when I quit work to be a stay at home mom. I still don't have one and really only miss it when I'm traveling on the expressway as pay phones are few and far apart these days. Thank you for your inspirational posts. Have a great day. Heather

  2. Hi Heather,

    You're welcome...I am getting inspiration from a lot of new sites I am finding. I got rid of my cell about 8 months ago when i reduced my work hours to 30 per week. I feel like a new women! Don't miss it at all!
