Be Still & Know

I will tell you one thing about myself: I don't like to sit still. And this is not a recent change, it's been a thing my whole life. As I've mentioned before I have about seven different jobs. They all have one thing in common and it's people. I love people.

I love taking care of people. I love knowing how people take their coffee and sometimes they even laugh at my jokes. It's my soul food. However, there can be such a thing as too much extrovert time. And in those moments (between shifts) The Lord said to me one day, "Breathe Me In." That's hard to argue with and it's not easy to do. In a world that promotes self sufficiency, surrender in silence and breathe Him in. 

So here we are on Sunday, a day of rest and I'm going to encourage you. Be Still. Don't worry about the rush of life or how you're going to make ends meet this month. Try to take a deep breath and remember how fortunate we are to live in freedom. Know. Know that you are capable of accomplishing all your dreams. Its not about being overconfident, it's about looking at your gifts and figuring out how you can live fully within your calling. Be still and know that you are loved and that you are enough.

Love & Prayers,
