What's in a name?
"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" from William Shakespeare sums most of my blog dilemma. I've been chasing writing goals for so long that I don't know where I fit anymore. My heart yearns to write the overflow and share the pieces of my heart throughout our days. I deeply feel the brokenness and wholeheartedly believe in the beautiful that comes forth from the trials. My soul craves the slow and quiet in a loud and busy world. I need to lay this to rest in the presence of the Father and trust that the more time I spend with Him, I will grow closer and glorify Him.
Then I remembered a favorite homeschooling quote:
Let him linger pleasantly over the history of a single man, a short period, until he thinks the thoughts of that man. - Charlotte Mason
A beautiful light shone on those words, linger pleasantly. Truly this is our life calling - the sanctification. We are to linger pleasantly over the history of God - the Bible - His Words fill us, until we think the thoughts of Him, accept the gift of His Son, and allow the Spirit to fill and fulfill our souls.
Upon a little further digging, I cam across a beautiful article about Lingering in His Presence. It was very encouraging to read the words that I needed to hear for this journey.
