Peace, Part II

PEACE

Part II

Philippians 4:7King James Version (KJV)

⁷ And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

This is where my #OneWord journey will begin.  I am looking to God for peace in the things I do not understand.

Jeremiah 29:11-13New International Version (NIV)

¹¹ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ¹² Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. ¹³ You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
     If He knows the plans for my life, then who am I to question those plans?  “Everything happens for a reason.”  I need to have PEACE in respecting that reason and believing that everything will turn out as it should and was scripted by God.
     There are so many unknowns in this crazy world.  I could chose to stress about them or I can choose to believe that everything will work out the way it should.
     These things I do know:

·       My marriage is stronger than it’s ever been.

·       We have three amazing children who have found their own passions.

·       We have a gorgeous granddaughter who is smart as a whip!

·       I am happier than I have ever been in my teaching career.

·       I work with an outstanding group of caring and compassionate individuals.

·       I have a close circle of friends and we have each other’s backs!

That being said, there are some things going on, professionally, that I do not have control over.  This is why I’ve chose PEACE as my #OneWord.  I need to be at PEACE and trust the journey.  I know that I am going to need to continue revisiting this post along the journey and digging deeper to find that PEACE for things I do not understand.
