I've been here before. I know what this is "supposed" to feel like; uneasy in my gut, a feel of scared and overwhelmed in my heart. I see it in the eyes of my friends when they ask "So, what's next." I respond with "I don't know, I'm just going to enjoy my daughter's birthday and Christmas and God will lead me." I think they think I'm crazy. You see, I've just ended a travel assignment, and technically I'm unemployed. It's 10 days before Christmas and my daughter's birthday is next week. I guess I'm supposed to be anxious or worried about "what's next" but I'm not. I have this peace in my spirit that things are as they should be. You see....
The Bible tells me:
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6&7
I don't know where I'll be in a few weeks. To be honest, I don't know where I'll be tomorrow. The reality is none of us really do. Some of my friends would be very troubled by this concept, but it works for me and my family and to be honest I kinda like it. It gives me ample opportunity to lean on My Father and give it all to Him.
So, as you go through these last days of the Christmas season I leave you with this thought.....
Panic or Peace? The choice is yours.
Merry CHRISTmas!
