My mind is whirling. Seriously in overdrive.
As I turn around and look back behind me over the year, I cannot wrap my mind around the humanly impossible journey we have been on as a family. It's a bit overwhelming!
I so need a place to just dump out some of the stuff I need to keep track of. A place to quiet myself before my Creator. To breathe out all of the business of life and breathe in the quietness of mind that His Spirit breathes into my soul. How can I go on with life without His strength. So today, I dump, I kneel, I lift my eyes up to the One who knows. He knows what I need. He knows the next step on this seemingly crazy path that my feet are traveling down. He knows what my heart needs to gain strength to stretch my hands out to those around me. He knows. He just does.
All of the responsibilities that are on my shoulders are good. They are God things. They are abundant blessings that make my hands tremble with happiness and my eyes well up with tears. But they are still responsibilities. So today, I tell my soul to take a peaceful rest in my Fortress of Strength. I tell my soul that these responsibilities are ultimately His responsibilities. I am simply His hands and feet in a tangible way to a tangible world with tangible needs. And I thank Him. I kneel in wonder before Him with up-stretched hands and a heart completely silenced in the wonder of it all.
