This is a book that speaks about a season recently when God and my
health spoke loud that I must slow down. A new burnout put a strong
pressure on me to slow down. At the same time God spoke very clearly
and personally to me about the calling and wisdom to slow down and
reflect on my speed and strength through a dream. This has also
happened earlier in my life, but this time it was different. I was led to
listen to the "voices" of both my body and soul in a clear and active way
14 "HELP, LORD — I CAN'T SLOW DOWN!"
like never before. I heard them speak wise messages that I needed to
hear, if I wanted to return to health and live a healthy lifestyle in the
coming days.
But more than that: The following days, months and years became one
ongoing classroom of hearing and seeing how much God had to tell me
in this area. My life has always been saturated with speed and intensity
- and I did not know ABC about this side of my life. In a few visual
impressions God gave me in a dream about evaluating my speed and
strength, discovering my tiredness and feeling a deep desire for a more
restful way of traveling God opened a door for communicating with me
about a whole series of wise reasons why I would benefit from a slower
lifestyle. Since the dream was given in winter 2013, God has given me
a huge inner change. For the better. I have a lovely testimony how good
it is to be tamed by God in this area of my speed of living. I speak with
a testimony how God slowed down a very fast Kristian and pray this
will ignite hope for change in your life too.
