PRACTICINGTOGETHER

Slow down. Be Present.

The holidays are hectic, moving us at a pace far beyond what is healthy. Because God is always present and at work among us, we can trust that every moment is an opportunity to meet Him right where you are. Take time in the coming week to slow down and be truly present. Where have you seen God at work in the ordinary places of your life?
