Speed Up and Slow Down - Read the signs

As I enter this Lenten season I am determined to be focused. I am determined to be engaged. I am set on being both at utter peace and absolutely becoming more than I have been recently. I've had a lazy season, filled with self-pity, allowing others to affect my mental attitude, and complaining about my outcomes.

I need to both speed up and slow down during this season. Speed up to do the things I am called to do and slow down to access the power and direction for my life.

I love what the video (below says about two words; immediately and solitary. The two seem unrelated as we see them typed. They are only marginally connected as they are explained. I believe they are integral to living the life Jesus calls us to. Jesus was immediate in many of his actions. He took personal responsibility and acted without fear. Second, he found his strength in his solitary times. Before almost every major decision, trial filled day, and as his days became more and more filled with the world's pressures upon him, he went out to pray. Early in the morning, late at night, and sometimes, all night long, he prayed.

Be immediately where you are called of God to be. Find times of solitude to gain the strength to carry out tomorrows calling.
