Be Still...

"Be Still and know that I am God..."Psalm 46

I don't think I actually let that penetrate my heart til today...

At Encounter (the New Year's Conference) I attended a seminar on "Dealing with Stress in Our Busy Lives" and this whole past semester all I ever wanted a break.  I kept pushing myself, kept adding to my load and trying to handle it on my own.  At this seminar the speaker, Jason, mentioned of his past with dealing with stress and talked about how he encountered heart complications.  He had many tests done to only prove his heart was completely normal.  His story was the same as mine! This past semester I had an EKG, an echocardiogram, and wore a heart monitor for a day to only prove my heart was completely
normal. Not feeling so alone, Jason goes on to tell how he overcame this and it was the PEACE that God gives us. I felt very encouraged and at peace about everything, but was still living a hectic life.


Getting snowed in this past week had its up and downs...
I was excited to be off work and to not have anything to do, but then didn't know how to just sit. I tried to run home to Louisville where all my comfort was, but God was trying to tell me something. He was trying to tell me to acknowledge him!! Here he had provided me with wonderful time to rest in him and I was trying to run from it. He allowed for me to spend precious time with my dear friend Katie and to not do anything on a set schedule.


Here I was so selfish and yet he was providing me with my desires!!
