Be Still


(Sunrise over the little marshy pond a little way down the road from us on 2/5/12)

Be still, be still...

It has been a week of mind numbing fatigue--falling behind, trying to catch up, using every last minute of the day...and still being behind.

Be still, be still...

Deep breathes, quiet, silence, be still.

Trust.

All will be well.

He holds me in the palm of his hand.

He carries me on the breath of the dawn.

He makes me to shine like the sun.

Be still.

All will be well.



(Thanks for the many comments over the past week! I'm looking forward to catching up with you all over the weekend. It has been a hectic week.)

  6. Hi there - very nice picture. Pressure is good, too much pressure is bad - we all seem to need to learn how to breathe again!

  9. I've been trying to find 'Mary moments' this week, as well. It's been a busy week here, too. But He always provides those moments to breathe and be still if we'll look for them. Praying for you as you adjust to your new job.
