Checking out

It’s clear..  I need a break from opinions, media, my own rushing thoughts, insecurities, the have too’s and should do’s.  It’s clear.  I’ve stopped the push notifications on my devices, put the vacation notification on my email account.  Trying to silence the many voices that end up setting priorities and ruling the time you’ve given me Jesus.  Still, the greatest challenge to checking out remains me.  To settle down with you and isolate myself with you so that I can finally and fully hear your voice.  Be patient with me. You have so much competition and it will take me some time to wean myself from their demanding compelling influence.
