Taking the Time

As I've just returned from my first trip with Visiting Orphans and am adjusting to life back in Nashville, I am reminded of something: Remember to take time. Take time to remember. Take the time to process all that I saw, encountered, and experienced in Ethiopia and Uganda. Take the time to look at the faces again. Take the time for Jesus to guide me in processing all that is occurring in my head and heart.

Taking time...

It's something that each of us has difficulty doing. We quickly move from one event in our lives to another. We rarely take the time to soak in the moment and to remember the things that we've experienced first hand. So, I'm going to take these next couple of days taking the time.

Each day, I will let the Lord bring to remembrance a story, a person and I will share it with you. I encourage each of you to do this in your own lives. Take the time to hear what Jesus has to say to you. Take time to listen more closely to the hearts around you. Take the time.

Life is a gift. Don't waste it.
