Don't Be in Such a Hurry

A dear friend emailed this picture to me last week with the message "Be inspired my friend. God's gifts are within us even when we feel 'gray'". This was such a timely message for me. Sometimes I feel that I have so much inside of me that wants to be poured out, but time and circumstances don't seem to allow for it. I want to see something tangible happening now so I often get in a hurry or overwhelmed and then miss the joy of the journey. When I look at this bird I see peace and contentment. Not worrying about what she will do tomorrow or even the next minute. Can I learn to live so content with my circumstances no matter what they are. I am convinced it is the only way to achieve any lasting peace. Since I tend to go to the extreme of either too much too fast or total inactivity due to being overwhelmed I am seeking that serene middle ground. I believe it is the place where Jesus will meet with me and walk with me, explaining his plan so I don't have to worry about it. What a place. Lord help me get there.
