Be Still

So often we fill our lives with busyness and just keep going keep going and keep going.  We don't give ourselves a second to think, breathe, or relax.  We would rather keep on running than actually look at our life around us.  The faster we run the more we can get done, the faster we get through it...  But what do we miss in the meantime?  The Beauty of each day, of each moment... 

I have been realizing so much about myself this year.  My whole life has been one big scheduled BUSYNESS... It's time to be still.  Be still in the moment so I can experience Christ working around me and not just look back at it afterwords.  Be still in the moment so I can grasp opportunity, so I can seize the goodness of each possibility.  Be still  in the moment so I can experience true feelings and not just push my emotions to the side.  Be still in the moment so I can courageously become more of who I am, not just who people want me to be.  Be still in the moment so I can see every smile, every tear, every beautiful thing... I have to be still in the chaos to see where God is leading me.  I have to be still so I can hear his voice.  

Then I can truly follow Him for he is my God.

Psalm 46:10
