Just Keep Moving - Be Still And Know That I Am God....

I'm dipping my toe in the waters of this blog again...so much has changed since I started this blog and the journey has not always been pretty.  I have updated the design and hope that it will somehow be repurposed.

In December of 2012 I embarked on the most amazing journey with the man of my dreams; he is incredible, everything I have prayed for (and more!) and the best part is, he's here to do this thing called life with me.  Our relationship has had its tests, right from the beginning but God has been Faithful.  We're now talking about weddings, engagements, and how we're going to grow old together.

The busy-ness of life has not stopped but seems to go at a warp speed leaving my head spinning! There's my Master's program that I started last fall, my new job at a non-profit organization for domestic violence, a new housing situation this fall, an internship, and much much more! With all of this going on, I find myself getting dizzy at the thought of all that my life is and all that I have to do.  I make endless lists and reminders in my head to do this and do that, new money-making ideas are constantly going through my head, exercise plans to commit to, recipes to try, DIY projects to undertake, wedding ideas, as well as what I could be doing better in life and more specifically, in my relationships.

At the time of reflection that I allot myself (more frequently now then ever) I find myself yearning for more quality time with family and friends.   It wasn't untill recently that I realized that this life of busyness that I have created has eliminated such time for fellowship.  I'm so exhausted by my daily grind that by the time my "off days" arrive, I don't have the energy to do anything but channel surf.  It's in these moments of quiet reflection that I feel the closest to God, to take a moment from my busy lifestyle, and find Him.  True, He's always there, but I have been more and more searching for time alone with Him as opposed to time committed to 29,000 other things...those "things" just don't hold as much value.

So, in the crazyness of your life...dishes to wash, laundry to do, rooms to be dusted, beds to be straightened, cars to be vacuumed, bills to be paid, phone calls to be made, appointments to be set and rescheduled...let your "just keep moving" mentality take a break and find yourself hitting the pause button, to be still and know that He is God.
