How are you embracing this role of yours? I’m grateful to say I am embracing these many roles God has seen fit to bestow upon me with wonder and in awe.

What makes pausing so powerful?
Forbes says: “It’s tough to be creative when you never slow down. In a world where external demands and a cacophony of noise bombard us, taking the time to turn inward and think deeply is a must for creativity. Research has found that we allow our minds to wander when idle. And that daydreaming makes us more creative, better at problem-solving and better at coming up with innovative ideas.”
As a devoted believer, I can say 1st hand that there is a reason why sabbaticals are mandatory for people in certain positions of ministry. We know burnout is real especially when dealing with people, hurting people, misunderstood people and maturing people.
Why Pause On Your Own Terms?
You don’t want pausing to be a by-product of something out of your control or at a time when you really should be progressing and moving forward. It is understandable that life throws us curveballs, but there is something to be said about taking preventive measures by pausing on you own accord.
I shared transparently recently that I had to take a pause from doing some things I absolutely love and am called to do like singing publicly and traveling to speak at conferences because God knew I needed to prepare for the sweetest little gift he would send my husband and I. Although we desired this precious little gift in this season now of our lives, it was not until I had to take a pause did God quickly work a miracle in my life because I would have the time to dedicate to healing and preparing for what was to come.
Do not despise the season of pausing because I can truly say pausing was the much needed power to focus, renew and be even more invigorated for the assignment God had for us to fulfill in the now. What may seem like just nine months of preparation and carrying the promise was just a small part of the journey of getting here and God knew all that it would take to be ready. More on this later, but what I can boldly say right now is that God is concerned about every little detail of your life. Don’t you know that!? If you don’t, I’m here to remind you of that fact.

The world we live in is so fast-paced and hectic that we often forget to pause, take a moment to breathe and reflect upon our lives and the blessings we have. The Power of the Pause is essential in leading a peaceful, enriched, and fulfilling life.
In our busy lives, we seldom stop and take a moment for ourselves. We are constantly on the move, running from one appointment to another, checking our phones, and scrolling social media. We are bombarded by information and distractions, and we become disconnected from our inner selves, the people around us, and God.
It is during these busy moments that we need to remind ourselves of the power of the pause. Pausing takes discipline, but it can benefit us greatly in several ways. Firstly, it can help us to avoid making rash decisions. When we take a moment to pause, we can evaluate our thoughts and feelings, and make more informed decisions. Secondly, it allows us to recognize our blessings and be grateful for them. When we pause to appreciate the good things in our lives, we experience more joy and contentment. Lastly, it enables us to connect with God. When we pause to pray, read the bible or meditate, we become more attuned to God’s will for our lives.
Jesus constantly paused during his time on earth. He would often retreat to pray alone or spend time with his disciples. In Mark 6:31-32, Jesus said to his disciples, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” He recognized the importance of rest and taking a break from the world.
The Bible teaches us the importance of taking breaks and resting. Psalm 46:10 reminds us to “Be still, and know that I am God.” When we pause, we become still and connect with Him. Isaiah 40:31 says, “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” When we pause and focus on God, we renew our strength to face the challenges of life.
In conclusion, The Power of the Pause is about taking the time to appreciate the present moment, connect with our loved ones and God, and appreciate the blessings we have. It is slowing down and taking the time to reflect, evaluate and make informed decisions. It takes discipline, but it is essential to leading a peaceful, enriched, and fulfilling life. Let us take time to pause every day, appreciate the good things in our lives, and renew our strength in God.
