I am learning to appreciate quiet. We live in a very fast paced world and we sometimes feel guitly if we are not “taking advantage” of every moment. Our minds are filled with music, podcasts, movies, phone calls, text messages, photos, societal noise, and creative efforts to multi-task. I have come to realize that some of my most valuable time is spent in the world of quiet where I can ponder and feel and receive of God’s direction.
