Some days, it’s not the situations and circumstances that cause the anxiety and disappoints we feel. Some days, it’s the people around us. The people we let mold our days, mold our attitudes, and mold our “bread”. We let others feed us moldy words and half-truths.
David’s psalm 46:10 says, “Be still and know that I am God…I will be exhausted”. And yet, we rush to get advice from those who sabotage and feed off negativity. God said, “Be still…” and yet we rush! We move on our own power and our own intentions. Impatiently needing to fill our ears, our eyes, and hearts, with something quick and spontaneous. Quick actions cause quick highs that lead to quick falls.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to listen to people who are STILL comparing, STILL causing drama, STILL making excuses, STILL living in the past. And those who are STILL blind and def. I want to stay away from STILL people and BE STILL in the ONE Who knows everything about me. Who knows every detail about my yesterday, my today, and my tomorrow. The One Who has me in the palm of His hand.
My soul wants to BE STILL in all His glory.

broken, lost, eyes once very well adjusted to the dark; i found myself with a heart full of unforgiveness, bitterness, regret, sadness, unworthiness, anger; the list goes on. i grew up in church, surrounded by godly people, baptized at 12, and had an adventurous and happy childhood. an imagination that kept me busy full-time in our barns, by the creek that passed through our land, and any where and everywhere i was. but at the age of 18, my world was shaken when my parents separated. i began a life full of regretful mistakes, bad choices, and my relationship with Jesus suffered in the process. i didn't just put Him in the back seat when I moved out, i left Him on the farm I grew up on.
after 25 years, i somehow (a divine intervention) found it possible to forgive. i never knew how. i didn't even know what it meant to actually forgive someone. i struggled with it, and i was too stubborn to make the effort to figure it out. i was a victim, you see? and victims need sympathy. looking at the situation now, victim is exactly what I was not. i was being ridiculous, hard-headed; bathing in self-pity. i couldn't see that Jesus had actually packed His bags, and was sitting with me in the front seat the whole time. He taught me how to forgive the minute i decided to let Him. it took me 25 years, but He was patient, loving, and full of mercy. He was there when i finally surrendered to Him. and that was the day i forgave my earthly father for leaving our family, the day i began my relationship with my heavenly Father, and the day i was SAVED! so what are you holding on to? Jesus is there with you right now...and He is waiting on you to let whatever it is, go.
