Slow Club

In October I joined a club that some of you may have heard of. It's called "Slow Club". There are two rules to Slow Club: (1) NO running, and (2) NO hurrying. Sounds great, right? That's because it is. See, I love the peace and quiet of early mornings. I love driving my car with no music on so God and I can chat. I love slowing down enough to notice the goodness of God in everything.

Unfortunately, I let myself be dragged out of the club. It's hard to slow down life around you when life keeps racing faster and faster. In the process I started to lose who I am. I am a confident young woman who still has so much growing to do, but who is in no rush to do so. Part of me is so ready to grow up, but after enough days of waking up and wishing a day is over I've realized how much I LOVE Slow Club. Maybe that's because Slow Club never meets. It solely exists. Slow Club, unlike many other groups and clubs, has grace like God. It gives free will to leave and come back. If it had a preference, it wants us to stay and enjoy it's goodness.

So, Slow Club, I'm back! No more hurrying. No more rushing. Y'all can wait. Because I really am worth it. And so is He.
