This morning I woke up bright and happy, ready for the day! kidding :) I woke up late. Stumbled out my bedroom door to see something that used to resemble my living room. I have been working hard to keep my moving process "neat and organized" and while I haven't lost complete hope, I am willing to compromise on the neat factor :) I went to my closet and to be brutally honest, I didn't shave my legs last night, so dresses and skirts were out. My slacks were in the laundry, leaving me with jeans. We are only supposed to wear jeans on Friday so I found my darkest pair hoping that they could pass for "slacks," finished getting ready and set out the door. Late!
While on my way to school I got behind someone going 40 MPH who thought they were a civilian police officer and it was their duty to insure that no one behind them breaks the law, or even comes close to it ... LOVE those people. They (seeing that I was in a hurry and was possibly wanting to drive the speed limit) slowed down even more. I finally got a chance to pass them and as I was doing so, they decide that this is the time for them to increase their speed to 65 MPH. Putting my life in possible danger and sending my blood pressure sky rocketing... bless them Lord.
I got to school late, looked over to see half my coffee was out of the cup and on my car seat. AWESOME!
Surprisingly I wasn't that irritable... just more wound up! I knew I needed to "get my peace back." This is something I say that I probably got from my mom. When things are crazy, out of order, get your peace back... when you want to say a few "kind" words to someone who has ticked you off, get your peace back... when you are worried or anxious, get your peace back. Most of the time this takes God helping me get the right perspective, putting everything back in it's proper priority and getting things back in balance!
During my quiet time today. I opened my journal and started the "get-your-peace-back" process :) LORD I NEED YOU TODAY! HELP! The "get-your-peace-back" process is more about God than me. It's realizing my need for God and realizing his awesome abilities in my life, relationships, and heart. This song came to my mind and I got on youtube searched for it and let it speak to my heart. As the song played, all the pieces started falling back in place. Yes, this is what it is about. Yes, this is what my heart's deepest desire is.
The song talks about the ONE thing we desire, God. It goes on to say,What an awesome reminder. In the middle of all the things I have to do, all the crazy things that go wrong, all the blessings and dreams that are coming true, God is more than it all. He is above all things, He is going to take care of us and He loves us. I love it!
"Lord your name is higher than the heavens, Lord your name is higher than all created things, higher than hope, higher than dreams, the name of the Lord..."
Thank you Lord for this sweet reminder today, it is exactly what I needed to change my focus and heart.
