We Need to Practice Stillness
Over the last three weeks, we've been talking a lot about defining stillness as moving in the presence of God - taking steps according to His will and letting go of ours. However, sometimes stillness means exactly how it sounds... being still. For me, quiet stillness before God doesn't come easy. If my body isn't in motion, my mind almost...
