be still

I had a particularly stressful day yesterday, you know the kind where everything is going along according to what might resemble a haphazard plan then one simple thing goes awry and sends the day into a tailspin? Well, that was yesterday. My stress level went from moderate and manageable after the insanity that we've been dealing with, I'll update you later... things finally seemed like they were progressing nicely and falling into a humble routine, to full blown all out freak out! Finally, after being driven to tears; I crawled into bed and laid there listening to the chorus of crickets, whispered a prayer, felt the chill of a crisp late summer evening and 'heard' "Be still and know that I am God." I slept peacefully.
