I just checked my posting stats. I was shocked to find it has been ten days since I last posted. I have never gone for so long without a post. At least I don’t think I have. I am working on three posts and planning more. So, I guess the days just slipped by without my noticing.  

I was getting ready to write this morning and realized I needed to straighten my desk. While I was at it, I needed to dust. Then I noticed I had broken a nail, of course I had to take care of that. Time again slipping by in my distraction, or is it procrastination? 

Funny that. Time. We seem to have so much then suddenly not enough at all. We all have the same twenty-four hours of spinning around. In our spinning, somehow, we lose track of how much we lose and how much we waste. We hurry here and there with our list of things to do. Work, kids, family, hobbies, maybe we need to just stop and remember the most important part of time. It waits for no one.  

I opened www.biblegateway.com to check the verse in my head. I wanted to make sure I had the quote correct, and it turned out to be the verse of the day. Maybe we needed to hear it…ok maybe I needed to hear it today. 

Psalm 46:10a NASB 

Stop striving and know I am God… 

Those of you who like me grew up with the King James Version know it as “Be still and know that I am God.” But I like that word striving. Both are true. Be still and stop striving. Striving though has a different connotation. Stop trying to make something happen. Stop struggling. Stop for a while and rest. Think. Renew your energy. Time is passing by. You are missing what is happening right here, right now.  

So, I will be back and I will get myself on track. I feel a responsibility to whoever reads my words to be here. To be consistent. I can’t say I won’t go off the rails again. I am a dreamer chasing rainbows deep down. For today I hope we all can take a little time to stop striving, to be still and remember that He is God. Time is in His hands. Everything will be here when we get back.  

All for One
