In May, I had the pleasure of attending a weekend spiritual retreat. And what I found there surprised me: so much joy in slowing down. Not relief. Not just rest. Joy.

The more God heals me, the slower life begins to feel. Not empty, not lazy, not unproductive — just intentional. Healing taught me that success means nothing if it costs your peace, and that God’s timing is not something to rush.

While we are all chasing fitness goals and making healthy changes we must realize sometimes it takes time for the body to catch up.

Go to the restaurant, go to the spa, go out of town and enjoy the satisfaction between you and you. You don't need anyone elses approval.

I hope you would allow yourself to experience the graceful love of your Father God through his Spirit .
