"Have you ever wondered why God would institute a Sabbath? Doesn't it seem like we could accomplish more for His cause if we worked seven days a week? So why did God stop working on the seventh day? It certainly wasn't because He needed a break. Here's my take. The Sabbath is a weekly reminder that we don't keep the planets in orbit; He does. But you'd never know it by our frenetic effort to get to the bottom of our to do lists. You know what you really need? A stop doing list!"
~Mark Batterson, "Wild Goose Chase"
The long, screened in back porch during wedding week was exactly what we needed to help us slow down and listen to the Holy Spirit's whispers. This space provided a calm shelter in the chaos of the week. The porch also gave us a place for some sweet conversations with our kids as we cradled cups of hot coffee in our hands on the cool mornings. What an unexpected gift!
