Peace of Mind

Have you ever had that feeling where there's so much going on and it even seams like complete and utter ciaos, but yet somehow you feel completely calm in the storm? Yeah that's how I feel right now, I feel at peace with everything in life, not that I'm lazy with how life is, I'm just at peace. I guess a another way of saying it is, I'm happy. Oh how happy I am in the mist of the storm I fear not, for I trust that God will get me through the thunder and lightning.

Lately I had been completely frustrated with school, work, and time. I had no time, my time was spent doing school, work, and homework, and when I had time I wasted it sitting on the couch watching television (useless). The worst part was I wasn't spending Time with God, I had become so boring in my quiet time, and church had become a ritual and my time of repentance instead of a time to gather together with other believers. Oh how I've spent so much time in regret over not spending the time I should of with my Lord and Savior. I know I'm not the only one that has felt this way, and there are even some people that feel this way now, but you know what... It will be okay, There's nothing you can do that can separate you from the love of Christ.

I've spent such little time in prayer, reading, and worship that it's affected my attitude. When I don't spend time reading the Word, or praying it heavily affects me, I become grumpy, sick, and frustrated, it's highly strange.
But lately even though I haven't read my Bible a ton, I have been spending time in prayer, and you know what.... I'm at peace. I didn't realize how at peace I was until Saturday. I had just gotten home from my friend Abby and Shane's house after spending the night after an amazing dance. When I was home, I was exhausted sure, but somehow I was at peace, and let me tell you, I'm in the mist of a storm.
I have School, Work, Homework, and play practice this week, and for the past few weekends I've had something going on. Believe me I thoroughly enjoyed the past few weekends, but I've definitely been tired, and this weekend I was beyond tired, plus I had come to terms with something that weekend that didn't really go my way. While all of this was happening a wave of calmness came over me, I can't even explain! I'm at peace about everything, even the thing that didn't go how I'd hoped I was at fine about it.

God's been doing so much and I'm just so much in love with him!
And for those who might feel the same way, just frustrated with life, I want you to know this... Spend time in prayer, talk to God about everything, tell him your problems, and even if your somewhat "mad at him" tell him; God is there to listen to us and he knows that we have our problems and only wants us to spend time with him.
