Breathe.

Do you ever have those days when you find yourself holding your breath?  Not figuratively speaking--but you're sitting on the couch watching TV, maybe you're at your computer, and you realize that you haven't breathed in a while?  That's been happening to me over the past few days.

There are times when my happy-tank is running low and I realize that I've let anxieties and fears build up inside without me being aware of it; they are quiet and sneaky.  It is these times when the Holy Spirit gracefully and quietly speaks, reminding me of who I am and who He is.  Reminding me of why I am here in this world in the first place.  It's crazy to me what a big deal that is (understatement!) and how quickly, easily, I lose sight of it.

Pressing on (and wondering if I'll ever get it right),

Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
Lamentations 3:22-26

Thankful for you, Lauren!
