"Be still and know that I am God." Wow. How hard that is to do. I have been trying to instill those words in my mind, my heart and my being for some time now -- especially when it comes to parenting. It's challenging, though, when I am bombarded by the pressures of life: wife, mom, nurse, teacher, referee, cab driver...the list goes on.
But when I do take the time to "be still," I'm amazed at how much He blesses me. It might come in the feeling of a weight, a burden, being lifted. That moment where I pause and remember why I love my children so much. That moment when I have that fleeting feeling of why I married this wonderful man 11 years ago.
Don't get me wrong, it's a struggle to "be still." But when I do, oh how He touches my life. In turn, my life (hopefully) touches someone else when I see all He has given me. God is good!
