someone suggested i post this here so here it goes:

yeterday morning i was thinking about how the pastor of our church here at home said a lil saying that caught my attention.

"We need to put our heartbeat in sync with God's."

Meaning what moves His heart should move ours and what breaks his heart should break ours etc.

So here i was pondering on that and thinking how can i do that?

A memory of my childhood came back to my memory.
I remember when i wa a lil girl when i was troubled or scared or even just sleepy or wanting love i would climb up on my dad's lap. There i was safe and seure and very much felt loved. I would lay my head on my dad's chest and listen to his breathing and his heartbeat. I remember i used to put my hand over my chest to feel my heartbeat as i was listening to my dad's. Mine was alot faster, dad's was calm and steady. I would hold my breath to slow mine down a bit to catch up with his heartbeat then try to time it with my dad's and breath slower.

i told my dad yesterday that i was going to post this and i saw tears in his eyes and he said "dont forget to write how you used to suck yr thumb!" silly daddy! ♥ Later yeterday evening we were outside and my mom built a fire and my dad came over and put his jacket around my shoulders and said " I still gotta protect my lil girl." and added "you wanna hear my heartbeat?" and we both started to giggle .. I love you daddy ♥♥♥

but like my dad's heartbeat how do i realate all this with my heavenly Father?

well the Holy Spirit was showing me that sometimes i have to slow down trying to do so much too fast without listenning to the guidance of His heartbeat. And sometimes i have to ask him for help to get me out of a rut and and go to catch up with Dad's heartbeat.

pacing myself

I love you Father!

He lead me to colossians 3:12
Therefore , as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

His heartbeat
