Reminded to take it slow
Driving to work reminds me that life can be quite complex and irritating if you let it be. When I was driving I was stunned at how many people were in a rush to get around me only to slam on their break realizing thrtecwas a reason I was going slower.
Yet my day isn't a busy one. It is take my thanksgiving to Jehovah. Slow I may go for the greatness in it all is that I woke this morning. Jehovah gave me the gift of waking.
Today is also the last of my stream of working long days and hours until next week. I am grateful for all the days of work but I am equally grateful for the days off.
Today, I hope, I take my time. I have my strength but not much of it. I need some of it to make it home tonight. It's a kindness in life from Jehovah that helps me pace myself.
All these months I have been learning about me. How I can grow and how I use my stressing moments. I taught myself ways to rub away stress through working and through my hiking or walking expeditions. So right now I just use the sighs and breathing techniques.
The calm before the storm. So gentle and alarming at the same time.
Then I say my prayer for calm or even just remaining quiet when the raging turbulence is inside of me. That is all I can hope for. The gentle ways and the softest of touches. All to remind me I am capable because I have faith in Jehovah.
The slow process I am going forward in. The simple steps. Magnitude.
Excelled in learning patience, love and kindness. Forgiving is something that comes naturally. My only barrier is to forgive and hold at bay for my protection. I understand Jehovah knows me. Understands why I am standing that way.
It's a good experience. A life changing hello and good, happy dance. So onward in I go.
A smile. Strength. Prayer and courage. All because Jehovah believes in his lost child. It's that love that surpasses everything and presses me harder to search for him.
And that is exactly what I am doing. In all my steps. Love me or don't because it doesn't matter. Jehovah loves me and is helping me find my way back. That is the ONLY thing that matters.
