Off by a day

Ok so I am off by a day... I apolopgize to the two people that read this. I reached a point where I just didn't feel like the things I had to say needed to be said.

But in truth if I don't say them they just seem to pile up in my head and I begin to loose what sanity I have left.

I posted that I would start writing again on the 15th and here it is the 16th and no new posts... so here it comes...


I may have posted on this before I need to go back and read - but even so it has taken on a whole new meaning as of late...

I believe that the true power of the Spirit is not to take away the....

well ok... so five hours after I started this, not my network will let me finish it. I guess it was self prophecy...

So as I was saying, I believe that the true power of the Spirit is not to make the chaos peacful, rather the true power of the Spirit is to allow me to be at peace in the midst of chaos. When Christ was on the boat in the storm with his disciples he was peacefully asleep. When they woke him in fear they needed him to calm the storm, which he did. In addition he rebuked them for their lack of faith. I always assumed that he was rebuking them because they doubted that he could calm the storm... I have come to believe that he was rebuking them for needing the storm to be calmed. It was their lack of faith that God would not let them sink. My life has been in chaos as of late and I have found myself begging God to calm the storms and I have found myself angry with God when he doesn't...

But when I stop and pray and listen... I can hear God saying, it's only a storm I will not let you sink. And I can find peace in the chaos knowing that it is only chaos... it is merely noise that must be tuned out.

I pray that all who read this may find peace, our world will never be peacful, yet the Spirit will let us be at peace in God. Relish in this peace, seek it always...
