It's really been a long time coming on this journey, and yet there is so much to go, and so much to learn and so much to unlearn for that matter.
I've been blessed to have the people I do in my life and I have to admit that I can look over them and not appreciate them to full capacity. I came to this realization after getting offended when I didn't think my best friend was telling me everything like when he'd perform or what he was doing for the day, when in fact he would tell me continually that he has. I just wasn't completely listening nor processing everything he had said. I realized that I would blame it on everything, but myself. Like "oh you told me this information at night and you know that's when I get tired and why I fell asleep, or why didn't you tell me this, or why am I just now hearing about this?" These were all of my excuses.
Today the Lord reminded me the importance of being still, not only for Him, but all that He supplies for me. Every single blessing, including my best friend. I cannot continue to get caught up in the motion of things without taking time to be in the present moments I have been given. I have to admit, I did have a busy weekend, but that shouldn't remove the fact that I need to listen, be patient, be thankful, and most importantly be still when love abounds about me.
I challenge you to be still even if it's just for today, to take your time, to know that this is a process that shouldn't be rushed. Inspired by the scripture, Psalm 46:10 King James Version (KJV)
10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
I want God to to demonstrate Himself through me, using me in every way possible. Remaining in the fruits of the spirit being love, joy, peace, longsuffering (patience), gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness (kindness), temperance (self control). I want all of the fruits, the complete fullness so we are working on it one fruit at a time.
