The remodeling of the old farm home. How do I make it mine on a budget? It is going to take time, TIME- I am one that wants it done quickly. Yesterday as I was in Hobby Lobby looking at stencils to put a scripture inside these walls, I saw the scripture Psalms 46:10, Be still and KNOW that I am God. I think this is the one. So simple and yet profound.

Be still… being still is NOT a lack of action. It is a posture of trust.   We need to be still. We need to be planted . Regardless of the winds, the waves and the culture around us.

What does this say to me ? As I ponder on this, he is still patiently telling me, Darla, delight in me. Trust in me. Commit ALL to me and then BE STILL and know my peace like a river.

So this early morning, I will make the choice to slow down, enjoy the process of the farm coming together one day at a time. Be still  and thank my Father that He is in complete control. Because sometimes, we need to be reminded to stop everything and put our eyes on the Lord.

2. Psalm 46:10-11 “Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.” The LORD of Heaven’s Armies is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress. Interlude

3. Exodus 14:14 The LORD will fight for you while you keep still.”

4. Habakkuk 2:20 “The LORD is in his holy Temple. All the earth—be quiet in his presence.”
