Just Breathe

Sometimes we roll along and the world doesn't bother us. It seems that we are in complete harmony with the universe...nothing adversarial impending the journey and then BAM!!! Any and everything that could happen absolutely DOES and your standing there in the middle of a wildly spinning vortex frantically searching for the exit but nary an exit can be found. It's in these frantic moments that I have to remind myself who is REALLY in control. I have to remember in whom I put my trust and JUST BREATHE. However, more often than not, that's the last thing I remember to do. I often find that I allow myself to get caught up in the funnel cloud,losing sight of the Peace Speaker. In those moments when I allow the evil one to rob me of my peace I lose sight of the One who sings over me every day, the One who calms my fears with His love. When I allow myself to get stuck in the scary moments and willingly forfeit my peace and find myself breathlessly clawing my way through the swirling winds of the storm I give the evil one control. It's in those moments that my Heavenly Father sends a song, a scripture or someone who loves me across my path to point me back toward Him and I'm reminded to JUST BREATHE...to release the fear and doubt and embrace the promises of the One who loves me best
