Today...

Today is a day of rest. But not the kind in which I lay around in my pajamas and watch tv. The kind where I decide that the concerns I have in my flesh are not going to rule my day. The bills that are not yet paid, the laundry that is undone, the work that is piling up on me, and my testy almost-two year old, will get dealt with as I have time today. But more importantly, my tasks will not rule me. Today is a day that I am going to stay in constant conversation with God. I will remain peaceful. I am making the decision right now that the ever-pounding tornado of frustrations, emotions, and to-do lists is going to have to answer to the cosmic pause button that God has given me the authority to press when I choose to come into his presence. Today the constant gasping for tainted air is going to stop, and I will breathe deep and enjoy fresh eyes on the situations that God has me in. I will enjoy a new perspective in which I know that God has ordered my steps and has me exactly where I am because it is part of a perfect plan to prosper me. I will view my world only through the filter that my amazing Father has completely set me up, but not to fail, to WIN! Today is a day to win...

I don't know what your today is looking like through your normal eyes, but I offer to share my pause button with you while you take a moment to let God trade out your view for His perfect perspective. Breathe it in......Ahh.....Change can be so good sometimes.
