SEVEN

Be still and know that I am God.

Be still and know that I am.

Be still and know.

Be still.

Be.

This saying is beautifully cross-stitched on a plaque in my friend's home. I love that it keeps bringing it smaller and closer. I need each and every line of it. 

Some days I need to stop and remember that He is God. That I am not God. That He is in charge and has a great plan and sees a bigger picture that I can't see.

Some days I need to recognize that I am present. That because I am present I am supposed to be here. Because I am here, I may have a task. I need to be mindful of that.

Some days I just need to be present. I just need to be here, to bring my presence here. That may be all that is required of me in this moment, to be present.

Some days I simply need to do nothing. That may be the best thing I can do. 

Some days I am elsewhere.

And all of those possibilities are all okay, especially if God is in charge.

If I'm in charge, we may be in trouble.
