Round and Round
Canon 5D Mark ll, 50 1.2L, 2.8 aperture, 1/30 shutter, 320 ISO. One ride on the Carousel. Dragged the shutter for some motion blur.
Sometimes I just want it to stop, the busyness of this life. Wishing this will not make it happen, and even if it could, it wouldn’t make life any less stressful. No, I think the key is finding peace inside the storm. Breathing when we are squeezed the tightest.
I am learning this daily.
Yes, there is an event this weekend, and after that people to have over for dinner, a project is due, and I have clients coming on Saturday that I am not prepared for, etc. This is real life. It is our lives. However, there are a string of right now moments that are going to carry me to those other events. And when those events are here, there will be right now moments in the middle of them as well.
Here is the good news: God is the I AM. He calls Himself that in scripture repeatedly. That means He is right now. If He is right now, then He is present in this very moment to help you, to carry you, to provide for you, to help you breathe, to have relationship with you, to give you joy. He is, and He will.
I can breathe just thinking about it. In this very moment. So not another moment waisted on worry. If we are are always regretting the past, or worrying about the future, how we will find the Great I AM who is in our right now?
The I Am, God, is here and He is riding this colorful pony with me. Can we ride again?
Exodus 3: 13,14 ~ “Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?”. God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.”
Psalm 46 :1 ~ “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”
