Bonnie Gray, known around the interwebs as Faith Barista and @TheBonnieGray, has this delightful habit of writing things I would write in a completely different way than I would write it. We are often thinking the same thing at the same time, and where I engage in poetry and sometimes mysterious, emotional prose, Bonnie doesn't hesitate to just come out and say things. And she says them in a gentle, readable, encouraging fashion too!
A few months ago, I told her that I'd have to have her guest-post at my place, and here she is, my very first guest-post. When I asked her for a post, I gave her (and God) carte-blanche as to her topic, and when I read her post last night, I giggled my way through. What she and God came up with for me was indeed for me - and, I hope, for you too!
10 Ways to Make Rest One Ambition

"When you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake."I was driving around with friends from out of town, when we got on the topic of stress increasing in a social media saturated lifestyle. On top of the dailiness of work, family and friends, some of us are trying to blog, tweet, Facebook, return email and phone calls.
~ Victor Hugo
I admitted that I had to cut down time on Twitter because "I just don't have the bandwidth."
My friends burst out laughing at my Silicon-Valley-ite terminology. No, my internet connection isn't slow or on the fritz. I was talking about personal margin, in my schedule and spiritual space.
In a social media age where it seems there's never enough time, how can we be "enough"?
