The day feels long and it has just begun. Clouds of grey tempt to snatch the joy I long for. I want to be content. I say It aloud, I will choose to be content. Still the grey hangs overhead.
Have you ever just felt blah? No reason, just blah. I think that is normal for women. We are such passionate people. God created us that way. We (I) get bursts of creativity where my soul seems restless. So much good I want to do, say, and live out.
Then there are days when I don’t have a creative bone in my body and I don’t care to go looking for it. Some days, we just need to be calm.
It is good for our souls to find that quiet, calm rest. It is needed. We are not meant to run on full-speed-ahead 24-7.
So find a moment, in your day, to just be.
Turn off the lights?
Turn off the computer?
Turn off the noise!
It will be good for you. How do you find balance between wanting to do – do – do, and sitting still and being calm?
Matthew 11:28 says “Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”
I have had the wintertime blues big time the past day or so…your stunning image puts the color back into the blues! 🙂
I understand that “blah” feeling that can come over me for no reason at all. Maybe it’s God calling me to just be still before Him and let Him renew my strength.
Many blessings, Traci!
Yes, the blues can be quite horrible. It is nice when they are over and you feel ‘alive’ again 🙂
Contentment… ahhhhh.
This was a wonderful post – i think I will turn the computer off for a while, sip my tea and enjoy the HUGE snowflakes out my window today.
Have a pretty day,
Kristin
