It's great to have you on board on the blog, and I hope you'll stop by and add your thoughts often.<br /><br />I was just in another conversation with Amy last night about my difficulty slowing down. School for you is a great example of something that never really changes: there's always a ton to do, and as a guy it's just easier for me to keep doing it rather than slowing down, blocking some things out, and stepping back to evaluate where I'm at and what God has said. I find the walking/hiking and the nature surroundings help me do that - I hope they do the same for you.Matt Guerinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05433397955119179231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931783049655504855.post-24439620733402364862009-09-28T21:44:39.101-07:002009-09-28T21:44:39.101-07:00Hey Matt!

They're a more expressive group when it comes to prayer and worship, and it's frustrating when the same sort of random worries get in the way of my genuine want to pray! This is partly because youth group and prayer meetings are the only time I actually <b><i>relax</i></b> at school, as the rest of the time is spent either in class or working on homework! I'll try to take your advice on a nature walk though...sounds like it could help organize my thoughts in order to enjoy God's presence.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15650377437193755620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931783049655504855.post-74379815837875894402009-09-15T06:23:09.335-07:002009-09-15T06:23:09.335-07:00I think you're quite right, and I hadn't m...I think you're quite right, and I hadn't made that connection. It is amazing what getting away for a couple days and just reflecting can do!Matt Guerinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05433397955119179231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931783049655504855.post-81030801434949444522009-09-11T17:48:36.518-07:002009-09-11T17:48:36.518-07:00This is such a precious post, Matt.
Surely there ...This is such a precious post, Matt.<br /><br />Surely there must be a link between what was going inside your heart and the beautiful pictures of the crystal clear waters of the lake.<br /><br />God was taking you through a clarifying process... what do you think?<br /><br />And dear Matt and Amy, today as we remember 9 11, let us remember it is hope... for our redemption draws near.<br /><br />I dedicated my Sept 11 post to my American friends.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />LidjCrown of Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993686012020045284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931783049655504855.post-62533015484488006422009-09-08T10:43:46.557-07:002009-09-08T10:43:46.557-07:00I've always loved your verbal processing....it...I've always loved your verbal processing....it helps me get inside your head and heart. Thank you for your affirmation on my struggle to slow down and the pursuit of quiet reflection. I have learned some things but am still so far from doing it without the struggle. But, perhaps that is normal and the point is to engage with the struggle to find some solace on the other side. Thanks for being my life partner in this!Amy Guerinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729880742850937752noreply@blogger.com
