I breathe in

I breathe in deeply knowing that this quiet calm won't last very long. 
I may want this moment to last... but I know I'll love the change when it comes.
 
My job has seasons of busyness.
Last year was the 1st time I took on this special assignment and in early June I found myself overwhelmed with work... for the 1st time in my life. But it was good, my comfort zone was stretched, my abilities grew, the challenge, the unknown... it was good for me.
 
Why?
 
Because I had to rely on HIM,
not my own limited abilities or my limited strength.
But I have one great resource in God.
In Him I have everything.
 
 
"Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:1-2
