When I was a kid, I loved nothing more than choosing one of the colored patterns from the oval, braided rug that sat under our dining room table and walking as fast as I could around it.
Let your faith be deepened, your burdens lifted, your heart made joyful, and your hope made new as you quiet yourself before the Lord, cease doing, and listen ..
I invite you to pull up a chair and sit alongside me each week to begin a personal relationship with the Lord or deepen the one you already have.
Sit Still is a 52-week devotional , along with other encouraging stories, about what I discovered when I finally learned to sit Still before the Lord.
And it was a true statement.
If anyone asked about a situation, I could say, Oh that, I\'ve hardly given it a second thought.
Busyness kept me from thinking, feeling painful emotions, and the loneliness I associated with my childhood.

I used it as a defense mechanism repeatedly as an adult.
Keeping a fast pace didn\'t stop when I grew up.
This book is for my dad.
And find your shoulder to light on.
Often my father would say, Can you just sit Still and go light somewhere! The expression light comes from an Irish blessing, May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun.
Middle-aged with two grown sons of my own, I now know that I must have been driving him crazy.
I especially enjoyed doing this while my father sat at the table.
It was my personal racetrack.
I did all this while trying to stay on one pattern.
