Draw close to God. It is what I am learning to do this whole process of time. When I feel overwhelmed with my circumstances or just the day itself, I just try to be still with God and search His face and presence and shut the outside world out. I will tell you my house is more than my home, it is my haven. My true safe place from the world. I describe it as God's arms wrapped around me. That is how safe and calm and serene I feel when I am in my home. There are days when I just don't want what the outside has to offer. I still feel like I am rehabilitating myself from the last 20+ years of working and people and all of it and I need to be quiet and still. My husband said he can see progress but that I still have a way to go. I am in God's sight and as long as I stay there and focus on Him as I learn my purpose than it is where I will be. For however long it takes. I find myself withdrawing from people that don't bring me calmness, stillness and joy. If my mind or heart tells me no, than it is no. It really is good for all of us to self exam ourselves and reassess our lives and see where we are. We take our cars in for check ups and repairs and yet we can go years before we stop and check on ourselves? Are we not worth more to ourselves than our hunks of metal? Take the time for you. Assess your life, career, finances, personal business, health....but most of all check in on your walk of faith. So often the last check on our list. But it is important to do it. Make sure God is first and all other things will fall into place...and try to do it today....Happy rainy Tuesday!
Psalm 62:6
