Quiet Morning, Swirling Thoughts

What an amazing morning. It's cool (for NC, anyway). The sun is shining bright (of course, it's NC). Rob and Ellie left for the day and the boys slept in. Perfectly quiet - alone for 30 minutes. What did I do with that time?

I had a quiet cup of coffee. A rare, QUIET cup of coffee. No one asking for this. Needing that. Just quiet! And I talked with God, in the quiet.

Our conversation was not so quiet. I am filled with questions. I wonder what to do about this. I "need" to know that. So, God... can you tell me???

On this quiet morning, I am blessed by God, who wants to hear those swirling thoughts! He wants me to share what I wonder about. He wants me to lay my burdens (concerns, frustrations, confusion, and impatience) at his feet. He listens, quietly.

I share. Then I stop. Quiet. My mind, as quiet as my morning. For a moment, experiencing the perfect peace that comes when I choose to "Be still and know that (He alone is God)." (Ps. 46:10) He is, was and always will be.
