I think us as women have a hard time being still because we want to be productive and good wives and daughters, or whatever we are at the moment, and sometimes we need to stop and think that God sees us just as beautiful as we are, no need to complete a to do list or to please everyone! Let's keep praying that God takes us to that place of quietness. and praise God for your Godly husband!Lucia Metcalfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08998398598987021784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8854482840051924761.post-65967674984320527862011-07-30T13:07:04.424-07:002011-07-30T13:07:04.424-07:00Thanks Traci for your comments on my blog... that ...Thanks Traci for your comments on my blog... that is so wonderful how God whispered to both of us about the same thing!

That's certainly how I feel sometimes! God knew what he was doing when He put that verse in the Bible… and I love the second half: "I will be exalted in all the earth." No matter how much we worry or how hard we work, He is God and He will be exalted. So comforting.Meganhttp://whateverbefall-megan.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8854482840051924761.post-56230876680292261242011-07-29T13:51:55.210-07:002011-07-29T13:51:55.210-07:00I have felt like a hamster on a wheel a lot lately...I have felt like a hamster on a wheel a lot lately! We shouldn't get involved in the rat race, but sometimes it's hard not to. I always say that the rats are winning! God wants us to rest!

Be still and know, be still and know, be still and know. I'm a person of 3's too. :) God speaks the loudest when we are still. We've heard Him - now are we going to obey?
