I've heard stories through the years about how I was the "wiggle worm" of the family. Always squirming and never in one spot for very long. God must have a sense of humor because from what I hear, there is a lot of me in our lively Logan and if you know him, you know he is everything but still. Even as an adult, I tend to be a "wiggle worm" in some sorts. Always jumping from one project to the next, proposing a million ideas at one time, volunteering for this and that, and multi-tasking at its finest. So it's easy to conclude that I'm all but still. Why be still and calm when I can get so much more checked off my list if I'm going and doing? If I'm still then nothing get accomplished, right? Over the last couple of weeks, my desires have changed. My drive to get things checked of my list has gone to the way-side and I have found myself more still and calm than I ever have been in my entire life. It has also been in this still time that God has revealed some of the beauty of his great mystery to me. Not on my checklist of things to do or learn, but of far greater value than anything on my list. So maybe there is something to this being "still" thing after all.
"Be still, and know that I am God..." Psalm 46:10
