Be still …
It’s difficult for me to be still. I have too many ideas and tasks to complete. There are projects I need to finish at home and for work. And then there are the books to read, conversations to have, soccer practices to start, exercise program to begin. There’s too much to do and yet He says “Be Still”.
and know that I am God.
I want to know Him again and have the old conversations we used to have. I’m struggling with a relationship with God – not because of Him but because of the pain and scars. Then there’s that big problem that I want to do things my way and be stubborn. Of course He is always willing to be available so I can be restored but I’m broken, prideful, and busy.
Be Still and Know that I am God. Psalm 46:10
The only way to do this is to stop. Stop doing so much and being distracted. Stop focusing on the here and now and look towards eternity. Stop doing things the way I want and being selfish. Stop working on the things that are not really necessary. It’s so difficult! There was a time where it wasn’t but now it’s different. Two things He says to do that I struggle with doing.
That’s what I have to say for now.
James,
It’s almost as if you hung out in my head and then blogged everything I was thinking…
Thanks for being honest and transparent…and most of all…thanks for writing what I was TOO BUSY to write down
You’ve been an incredible source of encouragement brotha!

Rob,
I have a habit of joining the Dream Police and getting inside people’s heads when they sleep – or even when awake. LOL
That’s awesome that God is working on both of us and thanks for the kind words and your thoughts!
