Pardon my ignorance, but I’m often inspired by people who take time to sit still and listen to God, but I really don’t understand at all what a conversation like this looks like in this physical world.

When you say you stopped and did those things with God, is that in writing, in your head, out loud??? Not that you have to share those details, but as someone who doesn’t exactly ‘get’ the whole relationship with Christ, I’m having a hard time figuring out the how.

I’m pretty sure I want to follow God, but I’m lacking on the how to start in the non obvious ways.

I am going to the DR in July, so maybe I’ll see those rocks and it’ll all click

This is something that I try to do often.
At least once a month.
But I haven’t in a while.
In a major transition period in my life, when I need this time most, I find myself too busy to pull myself away.
Thanks for the much needed reminder!

Great pic! This is so funny-this morning at church our pastor talked about the Sabbath-doing nothing, rebooting, being still and talking with God. How important it is to shut down for a whole day and just soak him in to be ready for the week.
Glad you did just that-thanks for sharing! You are quite the traveler!

@kristiapplesauce, Wow! Thank you so much. My time with Moise was very encouraging and your comment helped me tie it all together. Love your heart and what God is doing through you. Thanks again. pete wilson’s last blog post..Sitting

No, I haven't "sat" lately and thanks a whole lot for that big fat conviction. Dang you. In other news...I have been thinking a lot about what you said in your last post about Moise and how he isn't interested in covos about church parking lots or conferences...he is interested in things like the salvation of the people there and how to build the church on Scripture. So then I was thinking about you being there and how encouraging it must be for you to keep going back and how that friendship MUST mean the world to him because I know what it means to me when people consistently come here and not only love on us but love the people I have come to love and how we all work together. It is so freakin true. We can't all live in Haiti or China or South Africa or even America. We can't all be a part of a big fat mega church and run children's ministry (or sound, or janitor ministry, or youth group) but in the same sentence, we can't all sell our stuff and move to the mission field either. We all have our place Pete. I know that you are there to encourage Moise and love him, but I hope that you are encouraged as well because you are where you need to be. You are there at Cross Point to love and lead and teach and grow and even talk to people about parking lots, conferences and situations I can't even imagine. People like us will run soup clubs and support groups, and people like you will run whatever it is that you do and when the day comes, we will all come together and hear those beautiful and piercing words...."well done". So thank you. Thank you for caring for Moise and for your example of fellowship. It was encouraging, even from here. kristiapplesauce’s last blog post..Vulnerable

This sitting at the feet of Jesus is challenging for me, and it has been on my heart more lately. In fact, I too did a blog awhile back about it, because God has been building into me. I came from a family that was always busy, on the move, very seldom physically, mentally, or spiritually still, so feel guilty now if I choose stillness. I know it is what God would have for me and even our family at times, but our culture says something different. It is great to hear this truth from a pastor. I think David, Job, Paul, Jesus, Mary and many others heard God in their stillness. Praying for you and your family! Wendy Ingram’s last blog post..Giving and Receiving

I sat just this morning actually. It'd been a while. Yesterday i dismissed the 119 Psalm due to it's length because i thought i didn't have the time. Today i was fully blessed by it's length, and then sat and listened for the first time in while. Refreshing and Invigorating. But i never feel closer to God than when i'm alone with my feet in the sand looking out over the vastness of the ocean. If i don't get alone on a beach at least once a year, i start to forget how big God is. marc’s last blog post..people who know people i know or sorta know or used to know

Wow! Reminds me of PR. You know a little boat ride and you’d be there in no time.

Ever need an ear…you know where to find one…and you know one is all I’ve got to give.
