be still

Dear Candice,
I'm sorry I haven't written in so long. I've been so caught in life and in all the random business that I have entangled myself in.
I just haven't taken the time to be still. And that's all I need. In the midst of all this chaos I have been trying to calm myself down by dumping my problems on people but that hasn't been working (go figure).
I have been so caught up in school work, friends, family, dance, and all that stuff that I haven't been still.
So a few nights ago, before I went to bed I decided that I needed real stillness- stillness more than just not moving or not talking. Real stillness of embracing the presence of my Father. So I asked Him to just take me away.
You wouldn't believe the freedom that came from just being safe in His arms for a few minutes.
Those few little moments where all I needed to be refreshed and wake up to His will for me.
All I needed was time with Him.
So now I know that dumping my problems on other people is nothing compared to just sitting silent and still before the throne of a Holy God.
He is all I need.

I love you.
Love,
Sara
