Be Still

Word of God speak

Would you pour down like rain

Washing my eyes to see your majesty

To be still and know

That you're in this place

Please let me stay and rest

In your holiness

Word of God speak

Words of this song come flooding to my mind tonight as the house is so quiet a pin dropping could be heard. Life certainly hasn't been they way I had dreamed it would be, yet You have been there every step of the way. At times You were silent as we have been told multiple times in the Word. Other times you were as loud as a group of 6 year old girls at a birthday party. Either way You were there. Please Jesus help me see in the silent and obnoxiously loud times you are the same God. When life gets muddy and the valley is so ever present You are not going to let your children stray far, for a mountain top experience is right around the corner. Picking us up loving on us being the strong when we feel so weak, life isn't about being 100% better than the day before. It's a about taking one day time, being 1% better than I was in the previous 24 hours. Building up to 365% better over the course of one year. Striving to be who YOU created me to be. Enbracing, savoring and loving every moment of this adventure called life. Your word says we don't know what tomorrow hold, but we know the One who holds tomorrow in His hand. For that is enough truth to rest upon. 

'Tis the Season!

'tis the season for what exactly?

The season for slowing down and reflection.

Yet feeling like we are moving hundred miles an hour?

What we find ourselves focusing on for a few days,

A couple weeks maybe a month the good good Father

had planned for years prior to the earth being in existence.

This season I want to reflect on the process of what was planned for centuries prior

that I often take advantage of simply celebrating for a short time.

For Mary, the process took months. Months of planning and preparing for a child

during a time she thought she would be planning a wedding.

Father, help me stay focused on the importance of celebrating YOU.

Celebrating You each day of every month all year long.

Help me stay focused on the goal and not get wrapped up in the process.

As Mary didn't need to see the entire staircase to take the first step!

Good, good Father by Chris Tomlin

I've heard a thousand stories of what they think you're like

But I've heard the tender whispers of love in the dead of night

And you tell me that you're pleased, And that I'm never alone

I've seen many searching for answers far and wide

But I know we're all searching, For answers only you provide

'Cause you know just what we need, Before we say a word

You're a good good father, It's who you are.

And I'm loved by you, It's who I am. 

Because You are perfect in all of  Your ways.
