Stand Still and Stay

This past few days have been filled with an intense pressure to give in to something that I know with all I am is not what I should do. When the pressure rises to it's strongest, I hear this voice within me that screams at me to "Stand Still and Stay" to not give up or give in.

There was a time when a self-assessment of my life and of the things I did in it would not bring about the best answers. That is no longer true. I know I am not perfect, but I also know that I am not what I used to be. I know that I am not doing things outside of God's will. Not occasionally, more like not at all. The weird thing is is that I always thought that to live like I am living now would make me "not cool." Guess what, I'm still cool, well, cool just like beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but I'm not a dweeb or anything.

So, for now, no matter the pressure against me, I am just going to stand still and stay. God is speaking through my heart and I hear him, and really, it is quite amazing to me how He is not giving me anything more than I can handle. As well for now, I am going to have fun in a totally new "cool" way. Golfing with a buddy on Friday, soccer on Saturday, another blessed service I am sure on Sunday (man last Sunday was awesome). Life lived, the way God intended. Doing my best, serving Him, putting Him first and listening, always listening for His voice to guide me, just as I am doing.

Today I ask you to join me in prayer that we stand still and stay when we know that what we are doing is correct and within God's will. That we learn to listen for and hear His voice. That we learn to be comfortable in what He is creating us to be.

Hallelujah!
