Mentally, I’ve been fighting for stillness, slowness and space. But Reality keeps barging in with her big ways and her long lists. It takes work to create a new reality, as the old one is ever so stubborn. I desperately want this to be a space where I am reminded to keep the margins, to take my time and to allow my soul to breathe.
The buttons I shared with you the other day are now coded and at the bottom of the blog, if you would like your own reminder. Here are some inspiring posts from my reader this week that may help as well.
On Living Out Simplicty by Amber at The Run A Muck.
Practice Resurrection by Kari at Through A Glass, Darkly
Loss and Resurrection by Arianne at (in)courage
The Return of the Mini Diary by Marta at Marta Writes (I think I’m in love with these)
*edited to add* 10 Ways to Make Rest One Ambition by Bonnie, guest poster at This Restless Heart
I’m sharing these inspired links today with Melissa of The Inspired Room.
“It takes work to create a new reality, as the old one is ever so stubborn.”
Yes. That. And Bonnie Gray shared the same thing at my blog today… Wow.

I just added Bonnie’s post in this list. Too good to leave off! Thanks for telling me of it.
I believe Bonnie’s post was one I copied and emailed to a couple of friends. I hope you find your stillness, slowness and space.
Dropping by from The Inspired Room. Come see what has inspired me in Blog Land. Don’t forget our giveaway ends Saturday night – be sure to register at AtticMag.

Love that picture. Yes, I do.
I’m really behind in my blog reading so I am just now stopping in to see your new design. I love it! I’ve changed the button my blog.

The photo itself is a call to simplify and focus. You are so right about change. It is not typically easy no matter how we long for it. The transition to the new does take work and intentionality. Hope this new season for you is all He wants for you.

“allow my soul to breathe”
I’d been feeling that parched need for faith-oxygen, too… badly. It’s strengthening to find you here, with me… drawing to this place of rest.
Feeling the arms you’ve wrapped around me… and smiling because of your company here…
Feels good to exhale together, Emily… Hugs, sweet friend…

His BEST to and for you…
