@annvoskamp Lord, the pace can get feverish, the speed of things can make us sick. The hurry makes us hurt. Still us. Slow us. It is safe to exhale. It is safe to trust. *You* are safe to trust. We are safe: You know the hairs on our head -- so we can leave our life in Your hands. We are safe: You love our loved ones beyond even death & into the grace of eternal life -- so we can leave our fears at the door. We are safe: You name us Beloved -- so we can leave all the lies at Your feet & find the relief of Your arms. In the stillness now.... we taste Your goodness now. Because when the world strives --- the wise still. It's the only way to feel our Father's embrace. . . #TheBrokenWay #TheWayOfAbundance #PrayingTogether #SundayStillness https://www.instagram.com/p/CiNJ4BfOqey/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Bright sunny morning. The kitletts are loving their sunbaths, and I'm enjoying the stillness. #sundaystillness #reading #coffee #cat #catsofinstagram #furbabies #kitletts #FelixKitlett #sunbathing
...Sunday rolling in like a relief. Can you just feel held for a moment just now? The God of invincible reliability, of infinite resources, of insistent love, says, "Give me everything you are carrying -- because I want to carry you." "Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you" Ps. 55:22 No family or personal choice that’s muddied a life can ever outdo God’s choice to wash everything in that life with grace. He graces even us, *especially us*, with healing grace. Give yourself the gift of grace that He already has. Believe it: no situation is more hopeless than your Savior is graceful. He. will. sustain. you. #TheBrokenWay #BeTheGIFT #SundayStillness
... so on a quiet Sunday, the Lord's day, we bow down & lift Him up... and we will slow and we will quiet and we will ponder this, because maybe this is all there really is: In the silent times, seek God In the painful times, praise God In the terrible times, trust God And at all times -- at all times -- thank God. And all the brave and beautiful people said Amen... #SundayStillness
...good thing life isn't about anybody trying to achieve some position, but *what ultimately matters is the affection of your people.* Good thing life’s not about trying to climb some ladder to achieve some position, but it’s about laying down & beautifully sacrificing, for the *affection of your people.* Good thing that the best things happen when we keep it real simple: *People over position. Affection over achievement.* Success to the world may look like independence and possessions and competition and affluence. But success to God looks like thirsting for presence, daily repentance, relentless dependence, endless remembrance, and outrageous obedience. God doesn't drive us to achieve. He simply asks us to come receive. All great things are an overflow of His grace. "Most of all, love each other as if your life depended on it. Love makes up for practically anything. " 1Pe4:8MSG #SundayStillness
