Zen

There are two places in my home that I automatically deem as my place of peace. These two rooms are my bedroom and bathroom. There are the two places where I can always hear and call on God. Zen despite its mystical connotations is your place of meditation, your place of peace. For some, it may be the basement or the kitchen. Make sure that you have some place in your home where you can seek and hear from God. Make sure that you have a place where you can be free and transparent with your creator. Make sure that you make time and space for zen in your life.

Rest

The storm clouds have passed. The damage is being assessed. There are still some lingering effects. As crazy as it sounds, the rain battering on the window lulled me into a deep sleep. I slept through the storm. Others slept through the storm because their power was out, and there was nothing to do, but sleep. What if you were able to sleep through the storms in your life? What if you had enough faith to say, "I've done all I could do, it's up to you God." What if you trusted enough to rest in peace, to rest in God and know that it's out of your control. I've learned that I'm not in control. There are circumstances that are simply above my pay grade, that is when I've learned to let go and let God. Have faith and rest on his promises. This too shall pass.
