“In returning [repentance] and rest you shall be saved;
in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.”
Isaiah 30:15 (ESV)

I recently took a class. The final project for a class I took recently involved integrating the course material into a 1-3 year plan. If you’ve read my thoughts for a while, you may recall I have previously lamented my lack of a five year plan and also resisted creating one. Perhaps a moderate two year plan would be more reasonable?

I completed the assignment; even received a good mark. More importantly, I think it was something I could live by and live with.

A foundational thought was to make decisions and move in directions in an intentional way. With that in mind, there was a focus on skill development and on developing my relationship with God. But too much of a good thing does exist. Thus the key to the whole plan was to include intentional time balance.

Which brings us back to the thought in Isaiah — turn around to the right way on the right path; with rest and quiet; trust in God and His plan.

With oodles of rain lately, the video for The Swell Season‘s “Slow Rising” is fitting. Also fitting to be posted on new music day.

Leaves are popping. Flowers are sprouting. Spring is fully here with hints of summer.
How about some catchy tunes to complete the package?

Mumford and Sons: Sigh No More
Zeus: Marching through your head
Meaghan Smith: Heartbroken
Old Man Luedecke: Woebetide the Doer of the Deed
