STILL

Still...it is the word that I determined to understand in 2010.

I knew nothing of stillness. Nothing of being in the moment.

Nothing of peace or trust.

I long tended to overmanage, overworry, overfrustrate, overexpect, overplan and overcompensate.

But these words got hold of me,

"Be Still and Know that I Am God."

These words became bigger than my need for self-fulfillment.

Nothing He asks of me is ever easy.

I always want to jump in with both feet and get busy.

I have learned a lot about being still.

And stillness continues to be a huge part of my process.

Stillness has quietly taught me to hold my stuff up to the light and dig deep into my motivation and ask why?

Why am I trying to manipulate, control, avoid or indulge my self?

Is it because I don't trust Him?

Most often it is.

And how silly am I to think that my plan could ever be better than His.
