flutter or land

Thoughts flutter rapidly through the mind....and when life happens there are two options: to either flutter or to land....this may not make any sense...and that is ok....but I hope that the reflection in what is written will cause one to stop the flutter...and to land...//

Today began as a normal day...get up, get ready...grab the coffee to go....to spill it while walking out the door...to walk to the car....to wishing that this week was just over! As I drove to work in the never ending traffic...the thought entered my mind that life would just be easier if I would land and not flutter...//I am not sure as to why this thought crossed my mind but it did. It was in this moment I knew that I needed take the afternoon and reflect on life....// I don't ever just give myself an afternoon to ponder my life....because typically I am to caught up in helping other people solve their problems...but today was different-

This afternoon it was me, myself and I- and clearly I didn't know what to do...where to go...or even what I wanted to see. But as the afternoon went on...the thought repeatedly kept coming into my mind: stop the flutter and land....so I did just that...and escaped away on my adventure for the day....I want go into where I went, what I did, or what I saw....as for that is not the point...the point is what I learned...//

Today I learned that I need land....and that God never gives a person a second chance at life, unless He has a greater purpose planned. I have known this for years...but in the quiet and still reflection of my own heart...this was revealed again in a very true and genuine way today-

I get so caught up in the flutter all around that I forget to land and look at the things that are right in the palm of my hand...//Sometimes taking on a new perspective is what I have to do to survive...but not today...it's about living out the perspective that I see...and how this will allow me to thrive...//

In this life it's about stopping the flutter and to simply land....and knowing that when I land I am the exact same person that I am when I flutter-


To those who are reading...if you have even read this far...It is my hope...that you too will find peace when you land...and joy when you flutter...//

grander tomorrow

There is a calmness when one can listen and follow:

Be still...and know that I am God-

This verse though short and simple...clearly gives a notion that all will work out and all will be at peace...

Today...was the last day of one the hardest years ever! Though a new adventure is mapped out...and is taking one to a busier locale...and will bring about it's own hardship...it's nice to feel prepared...more prepared than maybe a year ago...and knowing that all that needs to be done...is to show that there is trust in a greater purpose.

Though this year has been up hill battle...and one clearly that may have been lost... one never gave in...and one never gave up...// This year was one of solitude and taught one the beauty to hope. In the moments that words couldn't be spoken...and when all seemed shattered...and confusion veiled every answer...peace flung through the open spaces and allowed one to climb on. When mountains were prayed over...they were removed...( literally)

One doesn't give up hope for a greater purpose and a designed plan...one follows that hope...and trusts that there will be a grander tomorrow where the sun will shine on a new day!
