To be inspired doesn't requires a lot for me. A thought, song or simply a beautiful scenery can prompt a series of revelations. I believe that God speaks to us thru these things, and most of the time we are so caught up in our busy lives, we miss it. As I sit here in Colorado, looking at the beautiful creation Jesus made just for us to admire, I am inspired.
What does it mean to be "relaxed"? This is something I really struggle with!!! I am always thinking 2 thoughts ahead. To be relaxed would mean being present in the moment offered to me. It would mean stoping to admire what God intended to be a form of romance for me. The beautiful weather, the mountains, the peaceful sound of the river that is passing thru the patches of frozen ice. It's taking a deep breath in and listening to what Jesus is saying to me thru the solitude. I long to be still long enough to hear his voice. "One moment at a time" that is what Jason says. In this moment I am surrounded by family, warmth, laughter, the restlessness of our sweet babies, a classic movie in the background... love. I think what I could find in this moment is the feeling of contentment. Knowing I am loved, and that I am blessed. I believe Jesus is here in this room with us and I am grateful to him for the opportunity to share this peace with the people who I love the most.
I need to blog more. I am going to make the effort, at least while i'm in the mountains. Today, I am inspired to write, to create, to think, to relax... but most of all, to listen and look for the sweet things Jesus has in store for me.
