Being Still

We have grown accustomed to moving and doing. 

Looking, wandering, growing impatient.

All of this instead of just being still. 

Being still and just waiting. 

Waiting in that silence. Not picking up that phone, checking for that text, waiting for that phone call, checking that status update, looking for something on television, pacing, starting and stopping 3 things....just sitting in the quiet and stillness that is. 

And waiting. 

Listening. 

Breathing.

Meditating.

Praying.

Watching God unfold those things that have been laid out for you numerous times, that you may have missed because hey....you weren't being still and kind of missed it. 

Just think about it.

Where ever you are, right now, when you read this.... pause and observe your blessings in being still. sometimes, when we feel like all is falling apart, it is actually falling into place. Despite our simple understanding, us not wanting to deal with the emotions associated with the uncomfortable feeling of just being uncomfortable, we need that. We need to lose it to gain. We need to know what the bottom feels like to get to the top. We need to feel like we are alone to know true compatibility and love. We need to be still and not move to hear, grow, heal, focus, and get to that next step. You can miss out moving too fast. 

I thought someone may have needed to hear this.
