Quiet, Day 1

We are only a short week and a half away from the official craziness of holiday madness. Yes, my friends, it has started and it only gets louder from here. Some of us enjoy the insanity that comes with this time of year, a few even like Black Friday. I, on the other had, do not enjoy it at all. It just gets too loud for me. It seems the closer we get to Christmas Eve, the louder all of it gets. Maybe it is just my impatience, I'm not sure, but by the time the 24th is here I will be on overload and a frantic mess.

I thought we would take some time before it gets too crazy to remind you (and me) to find time to be still and know your God in the midst of the noise. It is easier to focus on the blessings when we have taken the time to truly thank the One that has given them to us.

Matthew 6:6"But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

Father~ I already feel the anxiety of the season creeping up on me. You know my hearts desire to stay a servant of your word and obedient to your calling on my life, Lord. Don't let me be caught up in the show this year, guide me on how to keep my focus on the things that are truly You, Lord. Strip the things from me that cause noise and distraction that make it hard to hear your voice. Lord, help me find the time and space to commit myself to you this Christmas season. ~In Your Precious Name.

Happy Birthday Hayley C.
