And this year, I haven't been able to make any plans because I still don't know if I can take the week of Christmas off. It makes it very difficult, expecially when you have to schedule flights. I don't do well with last minute. I want to plan, schedule. Finalize.
This has been an up in the air year. Ever feel like your life is in a holding pattern? Like you're flying around and around, waiting for the control tower to give you clearance to land but they never do?
I surprised myself the other day, when I realized that God is teaching me something through all this. He is helping me get better with this feeling of being out of control.
He has brought little pockets of peace in the chaos, here and there. Times of enjoyment.....laughter....and we thank God for them, every one.
It is really a relief when you finally let go.
You realize that there is peace to be found in that holding pattern above the clouds.
Amen, I thank God for my "little pockets of peace" in all the chaos.

Pockets of peace -- I love that phrase -- the imagery conjures up the most pleasant idea of being "tucked" in to Him.
ReplyDeleteHugs, sweetie. He's got ya.
"Holding Pattern" seems to be where I live.
ReplyDeleteA pastor's wife once told me "Everything is preparation". I asked "preparation for what?" She responded "... for the next step."
Over the years I've become accustomed to waiting and today I can find pockets of peace and even some contentment here. I've come to learn that I don't have to know when the next step will come or where it might take me. I just have to trust in the One who does.
Thank you for this beautiful portrayal to find pockets of peace in trusting God.
Hugs and wishes for a beautiful Christmas,
Deb
What a peaceful walkway. I hope your Christmas days will be filled with that peace.
