Kill the Busy Save the Bee: What It Really Means to Be Still and Know - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

"I vividly remember the day I walked out on my husband, my nine-year-old son, and my three-month-old baby. Let me set the scene for you. It was the middle of the week, a little after 3:30 p.m. The laundry was piled up in the basement, the kitchen looked like we’d had several people over for dinner the night before and as for the bathrooms –well, you could probably write your name in the soap scum. My oldest son had just gotten home from school (it was the beginning of the first marking period and you can imagine everything that comes with that). As he was becoming more frustrated with his math homework, my baby wouldn’t stop crying of hunger and throwing up, simultaneously. That’s just how things looked on the outside. On the inside, there were feelings of anger, frustration, irritation, and anxiety. This was me, a 35-year-old woman, dealing with sleep deprivation, breastfeeding, a screaming infant, and a needy child. I was overwhelmed with the thought that this was my life now. It boggled my mind because this is exactly what I had prayed for; it’s what I had wanted."Are you a busy bee? Busyness is anything that is keeping you from the peace of God. It could be your overscheduled to-do-list but it could also be your anxious thoughts or your constant stream of social media. Busyness can be a mental, emotional, or physical state of being, and many of us are severely caught up in it. In Kill the Busy Save the Bee, Yvonne Marie encourages her readers to discover the value of solitude, the importance of surrendering, and the significant transformation that can take place when an intentional effort is made to personally know Jesus. Starting with Psalm 46:10, “Be still and know that I am God”, she uses biblical references, anecdotes, personal stories, and her quirky knowledge about bees to describe the benefits of walking away from the busyness in order to strengthen and cultivate a much more meaningful walk with Christ.
