I have begun my 1000 Gifts devo, as well as my list of Gifts for 2013. =) I am enjoying the devotional very much (Thanks Mom!). I find myself going back and re reading the mornings devotional again at bedtime. This little excerpt from the one I read this morning resonated with my soul.
"Now could be an alter. This time could be a tabernacle.I am trying not too rush. Not to stress. To trust. Yesterday I had a moment. I was at work. I was feeling a little stressed since the boy was home sick....and the Mister stayed home with him (& not me...the mommy). It was getting late and well past lunch time. I was feeling frazzled and tired and hungry. I was having trouble with a particularly large transaction...and of course mulitple coupons that the register didn't seem to want to cooperate. (Happily it wasn't just me...my manager had just has many issues). After this lady's transaction was complete he released me to go to lunch. I got back to the bathroom fighting tears. Berating myself for not being in control. But then I slipped into the break room. Popped my lunch into the microwave. Txt my best friend. Pulled out my little Bible from my purse. I let His peace wash over me. I read my key verse over and over until the truth of the words soaked into my very soul.
In God, there is no time, only eternity-- or more simply, only now. His name is I AM. Here-- wherever my feet are-- is where I can love Him." (One Thousand Gifts Devotional, pp 41).
