After a slurry of holidays and travels and days off, today is a day to relax. When I say relax, I don't mean wander around the house in my pajamas thinking about what yummy food I can cook up or snack on all day. Today's day to relax means resting in the Lord. As I sit and meditate in the Lord's word I instantly feel relief. I tend to find myself caught up in planning and knowing what's next that I can overwhelm myself with a lot of nothing. When I spend time in prayer or simply thinking of all that God has done for me and my family and all of the sacrifices He made before I was even around, it is incredible. I am immediately grateful for more and life seems so much larger than my day to day stresses. Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. —Psalm 105:4 Take a couple minutes to rest in Him. He will bring you to a place of calmness and tranquility. Resting in God has increased my desire to seek Him. Sometimes when I look back, it seems like an endless circle of hide and seek. But then I realize, He isn't hiding from me. I am the one hiding from Him. When I am close to Him, I am happy. That's all I need to remember.
