Today, I refuse the hustle. 

I refuse to let the to-do list dictate. 

Today I choose the unhurried, the resting place in the shadow of the Most High. 

The place where the Holy Spirit of God sits, waiting for me to be present with Him. 

Today I choose to stop, get down on the floor and look into the face of my almost-two-year-old as she reaches for my embrace.

I choose to be present with her in this moment of almost-two. To play, to talk, to sit. To listen as God teaches me about her, to hear Him as He shows me how to train her up. 

Tomorrow can be for the hustle, or maybe not. Because the older I get, the more I learn that the list will be there, untouched tomorrow. 

Today, I simply refuse the hustle.
