Sometimes life seems overwhelming.
How do I get back to the center when there is so much swirling and confusion inside me? Demands on time, expectations, emergencies, who needs sleep?
I snuck away to my church office tonight and in blissful solitude listened to some spiritual music CDs while I did some straightening and organizing that required no intensive thought.
In the process, God has returned me to the Quiet.
This is the place where I am loved and experience it, where I am reassured and believe it, where I am serene and safe and embraced in timeless rest.
I'm not sure when the transition happened from feeling overwhelmed to feeling received. I didn't notice it. I only realized my neediness was gone, evaporated like a shallow icy puddle on a warm spring day. I just know I have been received by God into the Quiet; restored, renewed, and relaxed.
Now I'm ready to go home and sleep. God is so good.
Blessings,
David
