Be Still

I went to my weekly bible study tonight with my wonderful family. Tonight our bible study really spoke to me. Our lesson tonight was on being still and listening to God. I know that lately I have been so busy with work, school, and being a mom that I haven't made the necessary time to spend with God. My life always seems to be so much more stressful when I pull away from God. After my divorce this past year I have fallen much further away from God than I am comfortable with. I miss that once strong relationship I had with God. I know it's still there I just have to slow down enough to strengthen that relationship. I spent time being angry with God over my divorce. I am not proud to make such a statement but it's true. I want my relationship with God to be like it once was. I know my divorce was not God's fault and I need to understand that God delivered me from a very unhealthy situation. I often wish that God would have revealed more information prior to the wedding but I trust it's all part of His plan. I would not be in this program if I had not married my ex-husband. Both of his parents were retired school teachers and they encouraged me get my masters. I truly feel that God's plan for me is to work with children. I have been very stressed about my upcoming internship and the affect it is going to have on my finances. Tonight I was gently reminded that in the midst of this crazy world I must slow down and take time to listen to God. I know that once my relationship with Him is right, everything else will fall into place. My suggestion to you is make sure you take time out of your schedule and sit down and listen. He has important information He wants to share with us if we are willing to make the time to listen.
