Comments on: when he called me to linger https://tooverflowing.com/called-to-linger/ teaching women to think on true things Mon, 13 Jun 2011 17:40:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 By: Lara Gibson Williams https://tooverflowing.com/called-to-linger/#comment-174 Mon, 13 Jun 2011 17:40:00 +0000 http://tooverflowing.com/?p=391#comment-174 In reply to Heather.

“Even in my quiet time I am thinking more about how I can share…instead of just learning.” Such a temptation for anyone in “ministry.” He calls us to share and spur one another on, but I’m like you, if I feel like that is overtaking my focused, alone time with him then I’ve got things all twisted up. Thanks for sharing!

Oh friend, I’m right there with you. Running beside you with the same struggles. Unless we are diligent to keep our eyes fixed, they too easily slip down to all this temporal “stuff.” He is so gracious to draw our hearts back, over and over again.

Too often, I “stop in” then move on to the next thing…time with Him should never be on the “checklist” of the day – it should be the foundation of it. Thank you, dear one, for the reminder to turn off distractions (i.e. tweetdeck, cell phone, gmail, facebook, to-do list, etc.) and rest in Him – letting Him take me back to the beginning.

I have definitely found that in the last weekend the “tyranny of the urgent” has overtaken my life. I also have found myself distracted. Even in my quiet time I am thinking more about how I can share what I am learning with others instead of just learning! Thank for the reminder to get back to the source. The one thing. Love it!

Rushing, rushing and trying to cram everything into a few hours and it’s NOT working. Thank you for the gentle reminder to go back and start at the beginning!

I always wonder why it’s so easy to become distracted and weighted with “stuff”. Then I’m reminded, yet again, it’s because I’ve taken my eyes off Him and started looking at everything else around me. Help me, Lord, to keep those blinders on so I only see You and your goodness!
