SLOW DOWN!

You ever realize exactly how in a hurry we are every day? Whether its to work, or to a friends house, or to family get together, or even just plans we had for our weekends? We are always in a rush or hurry. We never just sit back and examine Life itself. We never just STOP and THINK about everything. One of the things that always strikes me as funny is when people make fun of Marijuana smokers. They always do the whole "dude just take life slow, man" routine, but we dont realize that, yes its a big joke but beneath the joke is really something that we dont do as often as we should. We dont sit and just look around outside at what God has given us. We dont just sit outside and think about life itself, meditate on whats next or whats to come, thank God for what hes given us already.

Not alot of people know this but I used to have bad anxiety attacks, yes it was just for a short while, but it taught me that God gives things to us, or makes things happen to us for a reason. While i would have my anxiety attacks I got to the point to where I could almost control it in a way. I would simply take a deep breath and look around me and just think that wow God is letting me live this human experience. When you think about that, that turns into a deep thinking process of, yes we are spirits basically "trapped" in a body. When you actually think about that everything around you, either in your house or outside in nature gets so overwhelming that...... well thats when my anxiety usually kicks in...so i guess i have my thought process to thank for my own issues. But enough about me. I guess all im trying to say is pick a day or 2 out of your week, go outside and just sit, look at the sky, the trees, feel the wind, close your eyes and just know that God is all around you.

Be still and know that I am God.

This means to stop watching the tv, and dont just sit there and say, well God I know youre here. NO, GO OUTSIDE!!!! Sit and close your eyes and just be still. You might be surprised by what happens.
