Staying in his perfect peace.
You know I have realized that I have had alot of perfect days lately. Seriously, these days where everything just goes so well and so wonderful and I feel full of Jesus love and I see his provision and his goodness and love for me. It’s crazy. For instance, i woke up one morning, went and babysat the stotts, went for a walk, helped jami put up the christmas tree, had an amazing dinner with them, baked cookies, and watched a movie. Thats the short version..but the day was really just perfect. So good and full of love and laughter. Well this morning I woke up feeling really weird. I felt weird about being in Amarillo, like maybe I shouldn’t have gone or wasn’t supposed to be there. Idk I was just feeling like I did something wrong and that this day wasn’t going to go well. Finally around 12 I decided I should do something about it. I dropped to my knees and prayed. I asked the Lord to show up, I asked him for specific things, I asked him to be apart of my day and to bring joy and life and everything good. And BAM. right after that everything turned around, everything became perfect again. We watched an incredible movie, made Christmas cards, made Christmas cookies. But again, that’s just the short version..but everything was perfect. This is when I realized something: I’m starting to think maybe these “perfect days” I keep having aren’t really about what is going on in that day, although it is really good. Honestly, I think it’s something different. I don’t want to say heart change, I don’t believe that’s what it is. I believe it is me resting in Jesus. Literally, I am learning to stay in his perfect peace, and when I do that, I am having “perfect days”. It’s like I no longer worry or stress or fear things. And when I don’t fill my mind with those things, it gives room to fill my mind with his peace..and joy and love and everything good and perfect. It’s amazing. Walking in his peace is amazing, and brings about perfect days because you are at peace in your heart. It’s like walking on a cloud, and walking in constant thankfulness to Jesus for everything. I love staying in his perfect peace.
