Hence, I'll get a whopping migraine - or a flu - or a pregnancy (a delightful sort of medical diagnosis :) that will force me into bed, doing nothing, pondering Him. BEING STILL and knowing He is. You would think we would learn to do it on our own without having to be knocked some Godly sense. But our over-driven, over-committed, over-eager, uber-enthusiastic selves seem to have an inability to learn the first time. Well, at least I do! Anyway, I love how responsive you are to God nudging you to slow down --- I read a great commentary on Psalms once that explained how part of a shephard's job when a sheep would stray was the break its legs, bind and cast them up, and carry the sheep around on his shoulders until it learned to rest and recover and have complete dependency on the shephard to go where it needed to go. Isn't that exactly how our kind God works? Compassionately breaking our legs - or slowing us down - so that we can get a breath and rest? I hope you soak up every moment of pregnant slower-pacedness, and enjoy rich communion and fellowship with Him while doing so. Super WOG Wed! Thanks for the reminder, as I have spread myself way too thin too ... and taken on way too many "martha" tasks when I know that a "mary" response wouldn't have been the better choice. Thanks for the encouragement!Penelope Writeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17054886993229479113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6470989822591659833.post-38342551459285922642009-09-10T00:03:05.157-04:002009-09-10T00:03:05.157-04:00I love that psalm!
