Do you ever stop and reflect on the last day of a month and look back and see all that has transpired? We all do it at the end of the year but do we do it monthly? I know I do now because everything in my life is more precious to me and I hang on to every detail. I am much more aware and much more in touch with my daily walk. I used to be so busy and always agitated because I felt rushed all the time. I felt like people on the road were so selfish and erratic in their driving. This time of year especially because of the added "hustle and bustle" with Christmas shopping on top of every one's daily routines. So I am much more still and much more quiet. I hear all the time people saying they are "so busy" and I nod because I too was like that. Too busy to call someone to say a quick hi. Too busy to stop and help someone because I was too busy getting off to work or leaving work. Too late to let someone pull out in front of me because I needed to be somewhere by a certain time. Jamming my entire life into 2 days off. Just crazy. So I must say for me, all the sacrifices I currently have to make are all worth the stillness and quietness I get to experience each day of my life. I no longer am too busy to talk or to write someone. I am no longer too busy to help someone. I am a different person now. I love reading and hearing testimonies from everyone that reads the blog each day. I love meeting new people that read it(loved meeting you Ed and Diane). When someone tells me my journey has helped them or taught them something, then I say to the Lord, use me anytime. If I can be of any use to Him and be some sort of tiny vessel for Him than I say, "You got it Lord". So for me? My life has completely changed. So do I look back and reflect each month? You betcha for the Lord is so good and so amazing and He has been so good to me. I just love Him and I thank Him for giving me back life. I pray you all can carve out a little time for yourself today. To just be still and see all that the Lord has done for you. Have a great and blessed Tuesday!
