Last night I ran away from home for a couple hours. I drove around desperately trying to find that place where I could be alone and sit in my discontent and wounded heart without anyone bothering me. It is very difficult to find a place to be alone in a city this size. I drove to what I thought would be a quiet place and realized because of new construction, I couldnt get to that place of peace I was seeking unless I got out of my car and walked into the park. The parking lot was surround by barbed wire fencing, wires, and traffic noise. But I left the house so quickly I didnt have appropriate hiking gear. I decided to just sit in my car, alone in my bubble of safety, safe from all pain. I closed my eyes, quieted my heart, and tried to tune out the noise of the traffic, the buzz of the wires, and the wounds of the day. I imagined myself sitting on Jesus lap, believing he is enough. As I focused on that, believing God is enough....my world began to fall into balance again. I could sense him wiping away my tears and strengthening my spirit, once again. I could hear his soft whispers of love to his precious daughter; I have loved you with an everlasting love, Jeremiah 31:3. My plans are to prosper you and not harm you, Jeremiah 29:11. I love you so much I gave up my son for you, John 3:16. Oh how I love his whispers to me through words written so long ago. They are current and relevant in this very moment. I am such a work in progress. As much as I purpose, I still get caught up in my own vision for my life, my own idea of balance. But I know as I practice sitting in his lap and trusting him for his balance in my life, I will find balance and I will find that he is enough. Yes, Jesus is enough.
