Yesterday I measured my day by how much I got done. The day before, I measured my day by whether I was able to manage my thoughts and emotions rather than watching them turn into a cobweb of everything & nothing all together. Today I measured my day by how much joy I felt.
Tomorrow I might measure my day by what I do, or maybe by whether I let myself be at peace with everything & nothing all at once. The simple & complex, all together.
The louder the world becomes, the more prominent and important that tasks, parenting and relationships become, the quieter I desire to be. The quiet holds space for God’s still small voice that penetrates the heart deeper than a rumbling of the earth. The still small voice becomes the compass to navigate what to do, when to do, and how to do.
May we learn to beat with the heartbeat of He who made us so that we measure our days by our awareness of His deep love and embrace. May we measure our days by knowing He’s already measured them all with compelling adventure, a path for profound intimacy, and a still small voice to lead the way.
