Those Little Reminders



This morning here at work, I decided to open up my Jesus Calling book and just see what it read today. Here is what it read:

          Sit quietly in my presence while I bless you. Make your mind like a pool of water, ready to receive whatever thoughts I drop into it. Rest in my Sufficiency, as you consider the challenges this day presents. Do not wear yourself out by worrying about whether you can cope with the pressures. Keep looking to me and communicating with me, as we walk through this day together.
         
         Take time to rest by the wayside, for I am not in a hurry. A leisurely pace accomplishes more than hurried striving. When you rush, your forget who you are and Whose you are. Remember that you are royalty in my kingdom.
         
          Bible Verses: Psalm 37:7
                               1 Peter 2:9



This is just really encouraging. The more and more I think about it, I would not be handling the situation with my parents divorce the way I am if I did not have the peace that the lord was there and keeping me under his wing. It has been rough, what divorce between your parents isn't? With the people I am surrounding myself with and the help of the Lord almighty I have gotten through the situation so far and will continue to keep looking to him for guidance and peace.

While it may not seem like it, the Lord is there and shaping me and my family as we go through this time.
