Today I had the special treat of going to Chateau Elan spa. It was the best day, I can’t believe I waited over a year to use the gift card, better late than never right? In massage, the waiting room, and the “quiet room” afterwards everything was so peaceful. Can't you tell I was having fun? No filter, baggy eyes, and all!
Quiet was my second choice as a word of the year, but I just didn’t feel up for the challenges and lessons God would teach if I picked such a hard word. If you know me at all, quiet is probably not a word you would use to describe me to someone. I have full confidence that Content was and is supposed to be my 2021 word of the year, but I’m considering quiet the subtitle to the book of 2021.
It’s been a week since I’ve been laid off. In the past few days I have been faced with more quiet that usual. As soon as it happened I began to think of how I could fill my now somewhat empty days, then I got the flu. It was as if God was making me slow down and stop my normal way of life to listen to him. Even for just a little while.
I have so much to learn. By no means did I make leaps and bounds of progress in knowing what’s to come next in my life but I did catch up of devotions, start a new bible study, listen to several sermons, dive into podcasts, write A LOT . These are things that I always try to bring into my life but I got an extra dose this past week. It was honestly so refreshing.
Maybe you're like me and your mind never stops. It’s exciting and very productive most of the time, yet it can bring be a lot of overwhelming stress and exhaustion. These days were good, even with the flu. I want to slow down and take time to do things that matter.
One song that is my go to reminder is “QUIET” by Elevation Rhythm... the stripped version is the best!!
It’s my 3 minutes and 45 seconds reminder to listen to God. The world is loud, lots of things want our attention, but who do we run to? I’m preaching to myself more than anyone, but I pray I you too can find God in the quiet season of unknown in your life.
