The Beginning of a Journey

Somewhere between the piano recitals, children's musicals, church choir musicals, dress rehearsals, committee meetings, grading final exams, exercising to lose those extra 20 pounds, and attempting to "purge" the house of unneeded items (so that we can finally park a car in our garage without running over the Christmas tree), I've lost my sense of peace.





Peace seems to be such an intangible thing these days. I drive home to get something I forgot...only to realize I've already forgotten what I forgot in the first place. I have post-it notes for my post-it notes. And have you ever noticed that dishes have a little something going on at night? I can have a perfectly clean sink when I go to bed, and by morning they have partied their way back into the sink!



So this summer is my journey back to peace. That deep-soul peace that no matter how the heavens and earth move, my soul is steady and strong. I know my key to that kind of peace is plugging into God's Word and spending some quality time on my knees.
