tuesdays.

Usually Tuesdays are filled with sleeping in and catching up with laundry, dishes, and whatever else needs to be done before teaching violin students later in the day. I took my time this morning, took the dog for a walk and ran errands. This tuesday isn't much different than others, but one thing is different - I'm at peace. It seems life has slowed down a bit lately, and for that I'm glad. I suppose I've chosen peace today over worry, because most tuesdays (days in general) are filled with worry. God's been teaching me that He alone is in control and that even when times are tough and unexpected things happen (like my husband losing his job right when he's finishing up school, unexpected dental work, loss of faith, and what i thought most important: not getting my way), He's still with us and holding us so close. So many unexpected things have of lately,  caused me to think way too much and worry and stress even more. But today, Tuesday, God is reminding me to count my many many blessings and to keep my eyes on Him.  I know that God is bigger than these "big" things that I face. I know that He alone is the source of what I need in life, and my provider - my soul-satisfying provider. My heart and mind are at rest today and my soul is happy because I know that my life is in God's hands. What better place to be than in that safe & peaceful place?

"You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you." 

Isaiah 26:3

Psalm 23
