**Sit quietly, eyes closed and in silence for one minute before reading.**
Sometimes
you need to just be. No analyzing, no looking for opportunities for growth, no
asking yourself how you could have done something better. Just be.
I am always looking for where I can improve, how I can grow, how I can learn
and making the most of every opportunity. And sometimes I just need to be. Often
God invites me to receive and to be. This is a sweet grace that God gives us.
Do you need this grace today? If so, will you just be?
**Sit again in silence for as long as is available to you.**

God Waits
**Sit quietly, eyes closed and in silence for one minute before reading.**
God waits. God is so patient as He waits for us to learn, grow and “get it”. He waits as I learn (again) to speak kind words. He waits as I learn (again) to trust Him alone. He waits as I learn (again) that I desperately need Him to do what He has called me to. He waits.
God has the perfect pace and timing yet He is so patient with me. My impatience sits in stark contrast to His as I demand of myself more than He does, as I demand more of others than He does … and I demand it now.
God waits as you learn and grow. He pushes, challenges and encourages while waiting patiently and lovingly, knowing we need time.
He gives you time, will you give yourself time?

Bloom
**Before you begin reading, sit down, breathe normally and be quiet for 1 minute.**
Bloom where you’re planted. Ugh. If you’re like me I cringe
at those words. Bloom where you’re planted, i.e. you’re stuck. For those of us
who thrive off of forward motion, these are not words we enjoy hearing. I miss
the “bloom” part and let the “you’re planted” part take over. What encourages
me is that we are not alone. God desires to “bloom” us and grow us. Even when
we feel and might actually be “stuck” God is still in the work of transforming us. I love that
He never leaves us and is always interested in us.
