Day 11: Speed

10 Signs that you’re moving too fast through life*:

IrritabilityRestlessnessCompulsive Over-WorkingEmotional numbnessEscapist behaviorsDisconnect from identity/callingUnable to attend to basic human needsHoarding energySlippage in spiritual practices______

And … This always happens when I listen to something, and they tell me I’m in for a list. Even when I try my very hardest, I miss one, minimum.

When I first listened to this sermon a couple months back, I was 6.75/10 (presumably). The math was immediate and sad, so maybe it’s a grace I couldn’t hear No. 10. I saw the need for change and helpless to change (beyond an earnest sprint).

Change has been made for me these last couple weeks, and I’ve been revisiting this Unhurry series from Bridgetown Church. It hasn’t been an easy week. There’s some mourning. There’s my temper.

And I’m 2/10 (presumably).

What’s your Now & Before?
