Today has been a good day from start to finish. I love days when God just whispers I've got this, enjoy the day and He shows it to you with everything that happens. We often times get too caught up in what needs to get done that we forget to just be. I'm thankful today that He was my God and I could just be me. I didn't try to figure it out, I just enjoyed the moments as they came. Don't get so caught up in the what of the moment that you forget to enjoy the moment. Life will pass you by while you are crossing things off of your list if you aren't careful.
As I sat down tonight and was journaling about today, God was continuing to whisper. Worship was precious today. It was one of those moments when you want to just push pause and sit for awhile. I can recall a few of them over the years at various places in my life and they are precious memories. I asked God the question again tonight that I've asked Him after each one....why couldn't I just stay in that moment for awhile? I imagine that may have been how Moses might have felt when He was up on the mountain with God. He probably didn't want to leave that time with God and go back and deal with the people. How many times do we just want to stay in that moment or on that mountain with God and not get back to life or a routine? It's that time on the mountain or in that God moment that enable us to carry on with our routine. It's in those times when He says you asked for a full cup, but I am going to make it overflow. When life starts coming at you and it will, get still for a moment and let Him whisper...remember.
Sweet reader, only God knows what your week holds. Yes, you may know what is on your to-do list, written in your calendar, and planned for each day. He knows what the week holds. The people you will come in contact with, the opportunities that will come your way, and the moments that will be yours to treasure. Today is a gift that only happens once. Treasure it and make the most of it. Let Him be in charge of your to-do list. Sometimes if we take a step back and let Him finish what He has started to tell us and/or show us, we'll find He's answering everything we asked Him to. Sometimes we miss His answers because we are so focused on our answers. Don't run from something just because it starts to "feel" uncomfortable. The fire you may be feeling may be God ordered and ordained to take you to the next level with Him.
The chains that were broken on Sunday are gone. Step into Monday with a smile on your face knowing that You are a child of the Most High and He's got this :-) I know I will be!
Focused on the journey,
~Melissa
