Our worship leader played this for us at practice Sun. night and it struck such a chord with me. Stop The World by Matthew West. This is exactly how I feel sometimes, I just want to the world to stop and let me off for awhile, for some quiet time, for some "I just can't take it anymore" time. It hit me to the point of a few tears b/c I think J feels exactly this way sometimes lately, although his might not be focused on "spending time" with God all the time, but just to stop the things he's going through right now, feelings he's having as he grows and finds things more difficult. Wishing he could be more like others so friends would play more with him at school during recess...yea, this is hard. I think T feels this way a lot with work and Cub scouts, balancing, finding something worth doing and wondering why people can be so crazy about the little things. I wonder if you feel this way?

Wow - what a song. Thanks for sharing this with us. This is a first that I have heard it. I can only imagine what it would be like 'to stop the world'. Wouldn't that be amazing. I guess that is what our quiet time is for. Just to block EVERYTHING else out. For us parents, especially us moms, that can be hard. But, it doesn't have to be for THAT long. Even if it is for 10 or 15 minutes. I'm not saying that is all the time we need to give Him - just use that time to actually 'block' out the world...to stop the world. I think if we could do that everyday - our lives may be alittle more humble? Just me thinking out loud. :)
What a great song. I can identify with this song, sometimes more than others.
So are we going to sing it at church?
