.not the brightest.
Okay, so I went back and read my blog from earlier.. And I know it was long so forigve me for blogging again.. But I feel like I left it up in the air a little bit.. My blog was titled "Be Still", however I spoke mostly about letting go of the past.. I got carried away and forgot to tie it all together.. That's sad.. Anyways the reason I chose "Be still" is because one day as I was praying God spoke to my heart and told me to just be still.. Which I then looked up in the bible and there it was in Psalms.. It was a Sunday, and after Pastor Nate's sermon, our associate Pastor came and led us in a song that he had written, just be still and know that I am God.. I feel that I often hear God saying to me, just be still.. That instead of me having to be here at noon, and there at 12:30, and back by one, that if I would give Him control.. If I would just be still and let Him take over, that it would all go much smoother.. If I would be still and trust God to fulfill His promises that the past would no longer matter.. That I would not need to dwell on it, or any longer let it affect my day to day life.. That if I would sit down for just a few minutes, and realize how big the God is that we serve, my past would not seem nearly as impressive as the huge plan and future that God has laid out for me..

so brit I just commented on my page to comment you back because i didn't know that you had a blog, now i do, so i will comment you on here, haha.. just thought id let you know, ha... love ya!
As we reflect on how big God really is everything else seems to not matter (like our past). Often when we realize what we have been delivered from then comes the revelation of how big God is!
Brit I love your blog! I'm really flattered you mentioned my name in one, hahaha! In all seriousness though I've been thinking a lot about how "big" God is too....it's easy to get caught up in the business of life and what seems so important but it's also easy to just stop for a second and remind ourselves that God is truly bigger. And no matter how difficult something is He has, as you put it in another blog, put us there for a reason. There's a song by Steven Curtis Chapman called Be Still and Know. I don't know if you know it but it's a great one. Go to this website and click on the Speechless album and forward to that song. I hope it touches you like it touched me. Love you, Brit, and I will be praying for you. http://www.stevencurtischapman.com/music.htm
