I have been overwhelmed by the busyness of life the past couple of days. Everywhere I went I was distracted by all the things to be done and still left to do. I was anxious about almost everything including school, work, money, etc.

I decided to take a day off everything, sat on the beach, and opened my Bible. I looked down and my favorite verse was staring me back in the face.
"Be
still, and
know that I am God"
(psalm 46:10). I continued to sit; however, I fought the stillness. There was just too much to be anxious about. I felt that I could not
afford to be still. I fought until I could no longer fight and grew weary.

I was walking up and down the beach and it was getting late, and I could not help but ask for something tangible. I was lacking the spiritual strength I needed. I sat down again, looked over the water and smiled.

and, then I took a picture. =) I found that sometimes I search to hard... It's all the creation around me that reminds me of our great God. Our God who never fails to provide, or amaze.
