Be Still

I love looking outside at the beautiful snow, laying on the limbs of bare trees, frosting berries, beautifying my world.  I know it's cold.  When I got up this morning, it was 23 degrees.  Now that is cold.  So thankful for houses with heat.  The snow just quiets the world around us and makes even the ugliest dried up plant look beautiful again.

So today, as my mind is trying to force me into worry and my heart wants to fret over all the things that I want or need to get done, I will look outside and force my body and soul to inhale and exhale this beauty that God has created.  I will sing the song, Be Still, by Kari Jobe.  I will welcome the Presence of the LORD into my home today.  I will rest in Him and Be Still.

Be Still

by Kari Jobe

He is here for the broken and life to the one who is undone
He is peace to the wounded and hope for the helpless one
He is here, He is here

Be still my soul, be still
Be still my soul, be still
Wait patiently upon the Lord
Be still my soul, be still

When the waves rise against me and the wind tries to draw me away
I will stand on the mountain, safe in Your arms I will sing I will sing

Be still my soul, be still
Be still my soul, be still
Wait patiently upon the Lord
Be still my soul, be still

Be still I know He is God
He is here, He is here
Be still I know He is God
He is here, He is here

So be still my soul, be still
Be still my soul, be still
Wait patiently upon the Lord
Be still my soul, be still
Wait patiently upon the Lord
Be still my soul, be still

I love the Sno-fro that my lamp has...lol
