I have taken a few months off from technology to live life in the moment rather than through the cropped and filtered digital memory of my iPhone. I downshifted a bit and looked at life through my own eyes, attempting to capture mental images as I walked out my day. I have enjoyed slowing down and living a bit closer to the present.
During this time I purchased a new ESV journal bible with high quality paper and plenty of room for drawing in the margins.
I find my time in the word is enhanced by simply slowing down and sketching through what God is revealing on each page. How is God asking you to slow down?
Since November 2014 the Lord has had me on a slower speed (you may have seen things I posted about this or we may have talked about it). The Lord hasn't given me liberty to work on big projects or hobbies or even study intensely. It has been a time of learning who I am because Christ is in me not because of what I achieve. This has been long, hard discipline for my soul, which always wants to do & find worth in doing. I am slow to learn but believe God's work will be fruitful!
