Giant Jagged Boulders

For the past week and a half, I've been trying to swallow a giant, jagged boulder!

Let me back up a little. I was so consumed in being a Super Mother and Business Owner. Everything was so busy and if one thing went wrong, the entire balance was knocked of kilter. When my blocks came tumbling down, I felt like I was a bad mother and wife. I never felt like I was measuring up to the goals and image I had set for myself. I was willing to ANYTHING to make the insanity stop.

Then, there was a phone call.

I had placed a phone call to a dear friend who was able to help me see clearly. As I started to mention all the things that were running a muck in my life, he stopped my in the middle. He said, "Let me stop you right there. I've heard enough and my head is spinning!" As I listened to his feedback, I suddenly got a lump in my throat. I knew he was right. It was like God had taken the open opportunity to speak to me right there!

The message was crystal clear: "Be still and know that I AM GOD! Slow down. Take a deep breath and take a look around you. Spend time with Hannah before she goes to school. Focus on what is truly important - family, relaxing, rest, friends. Studying His word. Be happy! Let God fill my heart with joy. Rest in His peace. Learn to let God lead in the dance of life."
