Have you ever had times in your life where the world is spinning and you're standing there shouting "slow down"? Well, I am experiencing one of those times in my life right now!
Over the past four weeks, I: 1) Began a new position, 2) Moved to a new place, 3) My Mom is in the Hospital, and 4) I have been sick. What a combination of things! Boy, has it been crazy! Living in boxes, at the hospital, and learning the ropes at a new job have been a bit insane and at times I stand there and try to figure out where to begin! Do I unpack, go visit my mom, sleep so I can stay well, or attend an event. However, in the midst of all of the chaos that life brings, I'm sitting at my desk looking at my constantly lit candles and just remembering God's goodness.
I don't know what it is about candles, but when I stare at the fire and sit there for a minute and smell the aroma coming from it, I began to relax. God's gift to my life...CANDLES (and pedicures...but that's another story)! Today, the candle on my desk focused me and reminded me that yes, life can be crazy, but in the midst of it and after the craziness of it, all God asks of us is that we remain "lit" for Him. Though troubles come or hard times, it is when our candle or our life should burn the brightest...because we come through those times not in our strength, but His. It was just the perfect reminder for me today to keep my focus. Don't allow the craziness to overwhelm me, but allow His Spirit to give me peace! I hope that makes sense...if not, it does in my mind :-)!
Hope you all have a great day being reminded how wonderful it is to have a Heavenly Father there for you constantly and carrying you during difficult times!
