peace. today i have received a gracious wave of peace. maybe i realized this peace while spending my afternoon discussing poetry in the sunshine with classmates and a brilliant, yet shockingly quirky, professor. maybe i am finding this peace through fasting for the 29,000 children who die each day from starvation. maybe it was discovered while spending time in His Word this morning before i started my day. putting life in perspective. remember why i'm here in the first place. maybe through delightful and inspiring conversations with my suitemates who have proven to be a wonderful blessing on my life each and every day. maybe it is simply through a God that loves me more than i can comprehend. a God who knows that i need this peace, this calmness, more than anything. a God full of grace. be still and know. it doesn’t really matter what it was. today has been epic. and for that i am grateful. peace. |
