Be Still My Soul

I woke up this morning at 3 AM and never went back to sleep.  My mind couldn’t settle on any one thing so I submitted to resting instead of sleeping.  My body is mixed up along with my mind and heart.  Now it’s 5:30 and though it’s still dark, the birds are already giving praise to their creator. 
My thoughts and feelings need the sifting of my Savior, just as wheat falls to the threshing floor, while the chaff blows away in the wind.  What remains produces a harvest of food to satisfy and seeds to plant in the next season. 
I choose to believe what I know is true-
  • 1.        God brought me home.  It’s the next step on his path for me.
  • 2.       Everything God does holds purpose.
Though my heart is already missing the 48 children I’ve come to love, it’s rejoicing in the community of friends and family surrounding me.  Even though I don’t know all the steps ahead, I will join the birds in praising my Creator until there is light along the path.  Thank you for your prayers.
