Summary

In a world that is moving and changing at warp speed, sometimes I feel like I can’t keep up.  How do I navigate something that doesn’t stay the same for what feels like any longer than a nanosecond? How am I supposed to keep a perspective of my place in this world and more importantly, my role as a believer?  I have been praying over this since early 2020. I have often bunny trailed into places I’ve never ventured before thinking that since everything is seeming like such a hot mess, maybe God wants me to do things I’ve never done before like become more of an activist. After all, most of my kids are grown and so I “could” do more of those things.  He has allowed me to go down some of those trails for short time and what I found is that they are more like black holes than trails. God, in His faithfulness, has continually led me back to the words “simple” and “unhurried” time and time again.  As a culture, we are overwhelmed with information, both bad and good. I can spend hours pouring over the latest political or pandemic happenings. I can even more easily spend hours utilizing the endless resources available to study scripture, listen to great teachings and read books on slowing down and simplifying.  But here’s the problem: I am human. I am finite. I am limited in my ability to apply and obey the total sum of all the available resources.  So if I am chasing my tail trying to implement every good idea or principle I read or hear or come across, even those based on scripture….(read the rest of the podcast by going to durendawilson.com) Comforts From the Cross by Elyse Fitzpatrick

Hey, moms, welcome to this episode of the Dorenda Wilson podcast. I'm Dorenda Wilson,

0:15.5

wife to one, mom to eight, Nana to seven, and 26-year veteran homeschooling mom. I'm really glad you're here today.

0:23.5

I'm going to be talking about keeping a simple, unhurried heart of faith at home. But before I

0:29.8

dive into that, you might be new to the podcast and not know that I've written three books. The first is

0:35.5

The Unhurried Homestchooler, a simple, mercifully short book on

0:38.6

homeschooling, Unhurried Grace for a Mom's Heart, and that is a devotional that I wrote specifically

0:45.9

for homeschooling moms. And finally, the four-hour school day, how you and your kids can thrive in the

0:51.8

homeschool life. All three of these books can be found at my website,

0:55.8

Duranda Wilson.com. They can all be found on Amazon as well. The four-hour school day can be found

1:01.2

also, in addition to that, probably at your favorite bookseller, whoever that is. Maybe that's

1:07.3

your local bookstore. Maybe it's Christian book distributors. They have great

1:12.2

prices on my book. So if you like to shop there, that's a great place to snag it. Think about it as a

1:18.4

gift for a friend. You know, homeschooling moms are always needing ongoing encouragement. So

1:23.8

please go check out those books. And I'm going to go ahead and dive into our topic today.

1:29.5

You know, these devotionals are written usually. Okay, let's try that again.

1:37.7

These devotionals that I do, Unhurried Grace, I typically don't write them out, but in this particular instance, I did because

1:47.9

there are times that I just really need to get my thoughts clear. And for me, that requires,

1:53.9

sometimes requires writing everything out. Plus, I always want to make sure that I'm conveying

1:59.1

things with accuracy, especially when it comes to God's

2:02.5

word because I feel a responsibility there. I mean, we're always learning, we're always growing.

2:07.7

But I really want to as much as possible convey to you accurate biblical truths. And so

2:14.0

this particular topic has actually been on my heart for quite a while.
