Are We Allowing The Storms To Rule Our Lives?

Good Morning,

A couple weeks ago I was packing up our camp site to head home, after our mini vacation, this thought hit me about my sleeping. I realized this was our second mini camping trip this year, celebrating two of our girls birthdays, each time we get ready for our trips I am so excited to sleep in but it seems I get up on time. I find it really odd that I struggle to get up at the time I want when we are home but on vacation I am an early bird. All I can figure is that I was actually resting and sleeping better or just looking forward to the fun day ahead. I personally was looking forward to our fun time together but I really think it was the first one.

During this last camping trip our church had a conference with guest speaker Chris Gore and in one of the meetings he was speaking about learning to rest in the storm like Jesus did in Matthew 8: 23-27 and Mark 4:35-41. I am not saying my life at home is a storm, but I think that maybe I tend to over complicate home life. I personally need to learn how to rest more in my heavenly Father. I know That God has used these camping trips to teach me to slow down, calm my mind, listen more to Him and His beautiful creations around me!

What are we allowing to become storms in our minds and lives? Let us rebuke those storms and speak, "Peace, be still!" in Jesus name.

Dear Lord thank You for each and every day You give us. I speak Your peace and rest over every area of our lives in Jesus Almighty Name. Amen
