That explains the amount of money we splurged on food. Comfort food.
As the day of the Charity Bazaar draws near, work will just get increasingly crazy.
I've been praying for strength this whole week and while He granted me the strength that I needed to make it through the week, God told me very clearly that He will renew me on Sunday.
And today, God shared His words with us:
"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." - Colossians 3:15
And Pastor gave a very apt analogy:
We all know that the very center of a cyclone, the eye, is always quiet and calm. Yet the amount of energy that it generates is tremendous.
Similarly, when we feel like we need a tremendous amount of energy and strength to deal with all the hectic madness around us, we must always remember to fill our heart and mind with God's peace. The very center of our being must remain quiet and calm.
When we had to deal with something seemingly impossible and difficult, it doesn't help if we jump straight into it. Instead, if we stop, remain still and pray for understanding, we often find that we come back to the problem with a whole new perspective.
This week, I'll have the picture of a cyclone in my mind to remind myself that I have to constantly ask for God's peace to be in me while I brace through the roaring madness all around me.
