Recently, the Mark Schultz song “Running Just to Catch Myself,” has felt like a very accurate description of my life. It feels like I’ve challenged myself to see how much I can do in a week—quickly going from one thing to the next, trying to keep up with it all.
“I can’t stand still…can I get a witness?”
With Spring Break now a month behind me, I find myself longing for the stillness.
Since then, it has felt like a full-on sprint to the end of the school year—or should I say the first day of Training Camp.
I’ve been yearning for that seemingly elusive break—the day where I can put away my schedule, turn off my computer, leave my phone inside and just be.
But that break is not going to happen this May.
And, I’m realizing that maybe I don’t need a week or a day, but just a moment.
Knowing what is ahead this month, I need remember to intentionally set aside Sabbath moments to unplug, to disconnect, and to just be. To be still and know that God is my refuge and strength. To be still and know that His grace is sufficient for me, and His power is made perfect in my weakness.
