A Time To Be Quiet

Ecclesiastes 3:7 A time to be quiet and a time to speak

This weekend Tonya and I headed out in our bus to the lake to get some nature and some quiet time in. For us we have been running and gunning for awhile now and sometimes we get so hell bent on change and growth and more and more that we forget to take a second and make sure we are still on track with our mission and continuing to define what we want for our lives. So we did what we do best, packed minimally, went to the lake with zero plans other than to get quiet, listen, and talk amongst ourselves and our God as to what we want our lives to be. Easier said then done.

First, in order to get quiet we had to eliminate the noise of everyday life. social media, television, work, church, friends, family etc. What we got in touch with was our hearts, our thoughts and our emotions. We swam, we sun bathed, we walked bare foot, listened to peaceful music, nature and each other, we read, we prayed and we napped. Man it was really needed

So when we headed out we set an intention for the weekend (coerced from a coach of ours) and came up with a plan to define our Purposeful Happiness. Wow that is a big question to answer. So we spent the rest of the weekend working front to back, side to side, back to front, and in between all the way through and back again. 

What is happiness to us?

What does it mean to be purposeful?

What do we want our lives to look like?

How will we serve, steward, and sow well?

and on and on and on

What we came up with was just the tip of the iceberg and we will continue to dig deeper at all things Purposeful Happiness for us. Speaking of diving in, dive in to this weeks episode and hear what all came about, and how you can do this exercise too. Let us know what you think and be sure and give us your feedback and a follow so we can stay in touch.

Much Love Y'all!
