Steeple

I need to go and sit a while, to be still, and just be. I need a quiet place to dwell, a place reserved only for me. A place to dwell deep in the heart of my Lord, a place to dive in and have his spirit fall fresh on me. A quiet corner of this big vast world, to hear from the heavenly King.
Change is stirring within, it has been for a while, it's where I have been, yet I am still somewhere in between. Life is an ever changing string of events. There was a time I could not picture myself married, yet I am now married. Then, I wondered if we were going to have kids. Lo and behold, a little girl has graced our lives and we'll never be the same again. And now our conversations turn to when a sibling should enter the picture.
Life progresses, whether I choose to participate or not, and sometimes it is blessed, and at other times, I just have to trust I'm in the hands of a mighty God. Regardless of the pace, the circumstances, or the players, every now and then, I just want to steal away to that quiet place, and rest.

I want to go to the quiet place!!!!
I've been thinking about that too...my church has a house on the property that speakers, etc, say in, so my pastor said I could hang out there for a day or two if I want. I need to do it, so I will be escaping shortly.
Maybe you can steal away with the Lord for a mini-retreat (a few hours or overnight?) and find your refreshing in Him....Maybe He is calling you to this since "He gives us the desires of our heart." Caring for a baby 24/7 is mental, emotional AND physical work, as you know. As wonderful as it is, it is also depleting. I remember spending just a few hours away from home, and how "new" I felt when I got back. I was amazed - and amazed that I didn't do it more often.....Remember, moms have needs too. :)

I love those lines.
