Times & Seasons

Humans are always in a hurry. Internal and external noise is especially high in this season in the United States.

I heard Graham Cooke teach that God wants to go with us when our thoughts wander to bring back our distracted minds. He travels with us especially when we are not in a place of peace. Instead of being frustrated with ourselves, we can lean into who God wants to be for us to bring us back to that perfect peace.
