It was a busy day; one that didn't afford much rest. There were chores (of which I still haven't finished) and laptops to fix. I spun my wheels all day and didn't make much progress before running off to WSFC to run slides. I feel that the service went well, although I totally messed up a song's chorus on screen after being distracted, if just for a moment, while posting a tag number for a child whom needed their parent. Perhaps 95% of the slides were displayed fine, but I just kept beating myself up over the errant 5%.
The traditional "date night" that ensued afterward was a nice break. I love my wife; she's such a beautiful woman- and a joy to hang out with. Still, I've been more stressed than calm and more anxious than at peace today. I can talk the talk of letting go, but it is truly difficult to do sometimes.
I'm making the choice right now as I write this, to let go and trust in God. I choose to cling to Him for peace. I choose to believe that he'll turn all of my stress related to the backlog of work at my job, church and home into something good if I just trust in Him and hang on.
Psalm 4:8
I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
Matthew 11:28 (New International Version)
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Romans 8:28 (New International Version)
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Lamentations 3:22-24 (New International Version)
Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.
Good Night
