And Then There Was Peace

You know how when you are right in the middle of the storm all you can see are the billowing seas and sheets of blinding rain. And all you can be is scared to death. You know? Well the funny thing is; the calm is right there in that same place, that same exact place. It's just about where you look and what you choose to see. Whatever you give the attention to will grow and be.

In between raindrops, immediately before the billow, and just above scared to death; there is peace. There is the Lord. I had a conversation today (a much needed one) with my mom. In a matter of moments I was able to refocus on the greater good, to see the calm before the storm, and to choose that.

We are not at the end of this journey yet, and I have absolutely no idea when we will be, but I am done riding the billowing seas and being blinded by the rain. At least for this moment :)

Everything is still the same but I am different. I am choosing the calmer path and that leads to the Lord and everything is better, even when it's awful, everything is better when you are on the same path as the Lord. Everything. Thank you for your thoughts, calls, comments, and prayers. They lift me up and carry me through.

Keep 'em comin' y'all (just a little somethin' for our southern friends - and to prove that living in LA wasn't completely lost on me)
