So it's been a while. It feels like I am always saying that. I have been a little busy. Okay, a lot busy. My last post was about reading the Bible in a Year. And let me tell you, the last couple of months have been extremely inconsistent. I am still getting my reading in, but it's not daily and I have to play catch up when I post pictures of the verses that I am reading.
It may not seem like that big of a deal, but that is what grounds me. I have noticed that even when I'm reading and catching up that I am not super focused and I can't seem to calm my brain. I am even having a hard time focusing in church. I am too busy and I am too preoccupied. It's not good. One of the projects that I taken on is just coming to a wrap. So hopefully I can breathe again soon. But, it's been pointed out that I say that A LOT.
My soul is soothed when I read the Bible regularly. If I can't find 15 minutes a day to commit to it, then quite frankly, my schedule is too tight. That should be my priority.
I think I posted before about listening to K Love, the Christian radio station, in my car. That soothes me and calms me also. For the past couple of months I have been listening to audio books in the car. I finished one yesterday and put K Love back on. I instantly felt relief. I breathed and relaxed. I need this.
In all fairness, I have been spending a lot of time at Church and working on Church events, but just because I am doing that does not mean that I can stop my reading and music. Clearly, I need it.

He caused the storm to be still, So that the waves of the sea were hushed. Then they were glad because they were quiet, So He guided them to their desired haven.
