So this last week has been manic , I returned from sick leave and piles of paper and work , only to have my dad fall ill ... eish!
My work load is an overload at the moment as I keep the engine of this business running whilst my dad is in hospital and prayer would be hugely welcome.
Today I just want to remind myself to make time for the important stuff .... you know catch my breathe ... and spend some time chatting to and meditating on God.
Nothing can bring calm and clarity into a situation quite like God can ... He calmed the seas and He can certainly calm me no matter what the chaos and storm that lies ahead.
Come let's pray ...
Lord today I pray that you would bring peace and calm into my storms
that you would bring about a supernatural serenity.
Lord I thank you that you will help me to cope with an
extended work load and family responsibilities
that you would step in and bring calm into my work enviroment.
Jesus I thank you for the healing and guarding hand you
have over my family both in sickness and in health.
Iam truly blessed by your love , your encouragement and
your patience Lord.
In Jesus name Amen.
Have a super day , I must run ... but still....
I love forests and I am a real winter baby , if I could live in a log cabin in the mountains alongside a lake it would make me the happiest person alive.
I find forests peaceful , serene and with many a hidden treasure. Even more intriguing is the way the light plays through the branches of the trees.
In my mind I envision these glorious beams and rays of light shining down on me , almost as though God has made each and everyone of us to shine in the spotlight of our journey called ' life'. You'll notice though it is not harsh light or penetrating light, but rather a soft luminescence that seems to hug it's surroundings ...highlighting the beauty that is all around.
Today as I dream a little again of living in the forest , of walking and foraging for treasure I am reminded that God is my forest ...my rest and my peace. All I need do is search for the treasures in His word and I will once again be refreshed and restored ...
As my day begins I sit here peaceful in the knowledge that God is good ALL OF THE TIME and today my worries are laid at His feet. Though I may have moments of weakness my Faith remain unwavering...
May you also find peace for your day today ...
Everyday should be a day to celebrate and be free , to just release our worries to God , to do as much as we can do in one day and be happy to leave the balance of today ....for tomorrow. Somehow though we forget this,we keep loading all the additional chaos of our days and operating in a constant state of stress. I know I personally forget to breathe and often catch myself gulping huge loads of H2O.
Today however I am choosing to breathe , to sigh , to dream and just rest in God. As it says in Psalm 46 v10 'Be still and know that I am God ..' ....today I choose peace and I choose rest.
I really am just looking forward to going home and spending quality time in my little corner of this planet , my car can wait , my work can wait , my stress can go hopping and God is welcome!
Resting is a conscious decision , join me and lets recharge our batteries.... facing a new week powered by God's strength and NOT our own.
