Are you ready to cry “Uncle” yet?
Who remembers playing the game “Uncle?” It was kind of a mean…
Break the silence…
Details are a part of life. My work is very detailed oriented. So is my life. And between my clients and church and the kids, I keep a lot of lists going. Especially now when you throw in the holiday season, I have a lot of lists. A. LOT. OF. LISTS. Besides the every-day work and kid tasks, there’s decorating and shopping and wrapping and Christmas cards and baking and planning and cooking. There are parties and programs and Christmas concerts and Christmas services at church. And this year let’s just throw in this cold/chest thing going on in my body for a month I just can’t seem to shake, and the fact that I have only purchased one Christmas gift so far and haven’t even started my baking, and you have a recipe for panic.
First things first…I mean seventh?
Today didn’t start like most days for me. Most days, I’m up early and get to enjoy my Bible with my tea and journal and Him in the quiet while everyone’s still sleeping. You know…I get myself filled up for the day. Get my mind lined up with what He is saying. Get my focus in the right place…on Him. But not today. And I noticed something….
Will you sit still???
I’ve always had a hard time sitting still. I loved to sit on my grandpa Broadway’s lap when I was little. He was a big teddy bear of a man, and I did a great job being still….for about 30 seconds….and then the fidgeting would begin. He was patient, but inevitably he would say, “Will you sit still?!?!” And I tried. I just couldn’t. So I’d have to get down.
Even now…I have a hard time sitting still. You can watch me at church, I fidget. I cross and uncross my legs. I shift in my seat. At home, my favorite places to sit are the rocking chair and the porch swing. Constant motion. But He is whispering….Be Still.
