“Be Still”
“The Most profound need of your soul is to be still in the presence of God. Stop wrestling with your troubles or worrying about circumstances–the Lord Almighty is greater than all of the them. So calm your soul and focus on His astounding wisdom, ability, and timing.”
This is part of a recent devotion that ‘Carrow and I both read daily. We constantly tell our kids to be quiet and be still. God is telling all of us to do the same. I like to go and it is extremely difficult to just stop and find some patience and “Be Still”. It is very easy for me to get busy and let everyday stuff worry and stress me out. I can also put “my plans” first in the day and usually God will quickly show me how His plans are so much better if I would just listen in the first place. Most times if I had just stopped and listened first I would have saved myself and others stress and worry. Recently I think that ‘Carrow and I are afraid of being “Still” because we don’t want too much sadness to creep in. Everyday we continue to hear people talk about Kayliegh and how her story has affected their lives and those moments are shared at exactly when we need to hear them. God timing is perfect and so is His plan for us.
We are looking forward to a great Birthday weekend for ‘Carrow starting today. No, I am not sharing her age because I really don’t want to sleep on the couch. Around here we celebrate either the entire week or weekend surrounding a birthday. This one will definitely be harder without our Baby Duck.
Until tomorrow,
Tim
