This Moment

As I contemplate the peace, the quiet, I marvel at how it permeates this space. And I considered what would be the event that takes this peace. That is where I went wrong. Not to consider what will be, but to take in what is. . . to be in the present moment with God.

Be still, and know that he is God. Wait and be in the peace- the present moment with him enough for now.

Possibility

Today is a day of possibilities! Possibility. Not sure where, not sure what- yet possibility.  This is your day of possibility.  Don't let doubt deter you from what is yours today. Explore it with great anticipation! enough for now.

Watch Thankfully

Watch. Watch, and be thankful. Watch with a thankful heart. Watch what God is doing in your life. enough for now.

Slow Down

Slow down! I had to tell myself to do just that. You see, I recognized that I was racing into an area where God did not clear me to go.

There are times that we rush ahead toward a good thing, but we are not clear if that good thing is fo us. So, we have to slow down. Where are you? Do you need to slow down? enough for now.

New Day of Learning

Today is a new day. I learned more about life yesterday than the day before. But that is how is should be. We should learn each day. What will you learn? Will it be about others? will it be about yourself? Will it be a new way of doing things? At the end of this day check to see what you learned. enough for now.

Milestones

I marvel at milestones in our lives. Yesterday my sister and brother-in-love celebrated 45 years of marriage. A milestone. A few weeks ago, my son celebrated the close of school. A milestone. A few weeks ago, one grandson celebrated celebrate graduation from high school. A milestone.

A few weeks ago, I recognized a weakness that had laid dormant and crept up. No, it's not a milestone; but if I can grow from that weakness, strengthened by the realization of what it really is- it will be a milestone. If I can remember to give thanks for my crossing over troubled waters that did not engulf me- it will be a milestone.

Celebrate life itself, as each new day is a milestone. Yes, some may be more memorable than others, but all are in the growing of you. All are in the path on your journey. Celebrate! enough for now.

No More Waste

I think sometimes we spend wasted energy trying to understand people who, more than likely, don't understand themselves.  We wonder how can they be so rude, so ugly, so irresponsible, so bullish. But if we are to focus on who we are and how God has made us, then we really don't have time to focus on anyone's foolishness. This life is precious and we really should nor miss what God is doing in our life.

The truth is that God also made them and loves them. That's a hard one- isn't it? He sees where the hurt is, ours and theirs. And he wants us to live fully- without the hurt.

So how do we not waste our energy? We focus on what Holy Spirit is directing for us. We seek help for our woundings. Yes, we pray that they seek help. But we focus on self in order to receive our healing. And then we can breathe clearer. enough for now.
