Stillness
Is there anyone out there struggling with being still?
Yes, stillness. A type of stillness that does not involve the absence of movement or activity… but a stillness that requires rest, patience, and belief. Now, back to the question “is there anyone out there struggling with being still?” I know I am. Some seasons require us to be still and rest to take our foot off the gas and just put our vehicle of life in cruise control where we will still arrive at our purposed destination without the work of self acceleration. If you’re anything like me stillness can seem like an enemy of progress and goal achievement. I a self professed control freak, perfectionist, and planner who is currently learning the value of stillness.
I’m just a girl… one who is highly ambitious and sets goals on a time table for myself to achieve. But, what happens when a self created timeline gets interrupted… annoyance, frustration, and depression can set in. In this current season maybe stillness is not the enemy but a friend that is introduced by the lover of our soul. What if stillness, is His way of aligning you and positioning you for something amazing. What if stillness is a momentary pause and reset because your timeline is rushed and may lead to destruction instead of redemption. Mmmmm…..
Stillness.
What if stillness is the setup to your miracle. Yeah, that’s right I said miracle, if anything I have learned in the past few years is patience. Slowly but surely my perspective is starting to shift because your girl is expecting a big miracle. So the next time you feel behind or defeated remain still because your victory may be in your stillness and surrender. Oh, and remember this word surrender because it will be important in a coming blog and video.
Until next time,
