Peace.
I didn’t think I would even understand what peace could mean in my life.
My life is crazy busy! How in the world would I ever know peace in the midst of my everyday living? Doesn’t peace mean that you have a time of quiet in your day? That routine is mundane and even boring?
Not even close. At least not for me.
I have experienced peace this year during the craziness of life, hospitals, illness…..and all the while my heart remains calm.
God has been present in a huge way this year in my heart. I have been through some very difficult times surrounding my youngest son’s medical issues and as time has passed and he has healed, I have healed too. The anxiety, the fear, the doubt that would wreak havoc on my heart lessened little by little.
I am learning to not live in fear.
I am living in peace.
Of course it’s not 100% of the time… I am only human, but what I know is that over time I have learned to rely on God in a way I hadn’t before. It’s a new depth to the relationship I have with Him.
I know the time will come when peace slips away and I have to work to keep it front and center, but I know what it is first hand and I am going to work as hard as I can to not let it go.
