QUIET

Hang on to your seats! I am not sure why-but I am making my third entry in the last few day!!! I know! I can't believe it myself. Anyhow, I wanted to write about something that I have been thinking about lately.

QUIET.

I am not talking about the QUIET that a mom dreams about at night when everyone is nustled in their beds (although that is nice), or the QUIET that a teacher expects from his/her students when they are supposed to be working on an assignment, etc.

I am speaking about QUIET in life. There has come a time right now in my life where things are QUIET. There is a peace in quiet noise, but I have found an even greater peace in QUIET life. Does that mean that there isn't craziness that still exists in my daily life? No. There is still crazy and things that come and go that try to make noise. There is still noise-but the QUIET comes from within at those times that I know that I can handle what noise comes my way. I feel like I have been given some incredible tools to use not just in tragedy, but in everyday things that may come my way. That is what my QUIET feels like right now. QUIET peace that I am being taken care of and that I am being watched over. I pray everyday that I continue to feel QUIET and to continue whatever it is that I can keep it.

Yesterday someone had a quote and of course I can't remember it exactly but something like "Sometimes God calms the storms around us and sometimes he calms the storms within" I really liked it. I'm glad you're feeling that.

Good job blogging!

I am so glad that you have this quiet and that you are comfortable and at peace with it. Thank you for your example.
