Do you ever find stepping ahead is uneasy? Do you feel uncomfortable with just "being" and not "doing" all the time? For the past 3 weeks I have had an uncomfortable feeling that I should be "DOING" something. I am a woman of faith who with a large family and a full-time career and always busy. Running kids around to softball, appointments with clients, phone calls, schedules, homework, dinner, dishes and laundry keeps me in a busy mode.
But this morning God has opened my eyes to this...It's OKAY to just be still.
I am learning that finding JOY in the CALM is hard! REALLY HARD! It is seemingly harder than dealing with an illness or the loss of a friend. But I wonder why it is so hard when I enjoy calmness. I like having no drama in my life! I crave it in the worst way...but then I have this uneasy fear when it is here.
In Psalm 107:28-30, God talks about the people in peril, going through the toughest of the toughest times. But verse 30 says "they were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven."
So won't you join me today in finding JOY in just being still? I am asking God to guide me to the desired haven of being okay with the quietness and calmness in my life. God knows and loves the JOY I have in my heart for Him. He knows that I give glory to Him when I have more time in my life, therefore, I will be okay in the calm and not worry about where the road in life is leading me. Touching lives everyday with the JOY I have in my heart is okay with me....and it is okay with God.
