Chaos....that has been my life for the past year and it doesn't seem to be changing! In fact it seems to be getting busier. As I was thinking about that today...i realized in all the craziness that goes on in my life I can still have peace.

Philippians 4:7, "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

I realized that I don't take time...I don't take time to stop. Time to stop and be silent before God and allow His peace to be with me each and everyday. Instead I worry and allow my life to be caught up in everything I have to do and everything I need to get done.

I have begun to realize that even in the midst of chaos I can have peace! I need to sit before God and quiet my Spirit, allowing Him to speak to me. When I am willing to take the time to sit before God and let Him speak to me I find peace. I find peace because I am willing to take time and let Him be in control of my Chaos instead of me.

When I am in control, my life is Chaos. When God is in control I have peace in the midst of Chaos!And His peace trascends all understanding! I don't have to understand it, I just have to accept it....Here is my challenge to myself after these reflections: I am going to take at least 5 min a day and just sit quietly, no talking, before God and allow Him to speak to me, becasue I am tired of trying to control my Chaos. I want to have peace in the midst of it by allowing God to be in control!!

Maybe you would like to take this challenge with me and allow God to be in control of your Chaos?
