When I say the word peace so many things come to mind...
silence
rest
trust
hope
faith
joy
warmth
security
carefully measured words
thoughtfulness
thankfulness
It does seem like many of the things are positive, but I do assosciate other things with peace...things that usually do not coexist with peace...
conflict
worry
anxiety
noise
unneccessary movement
tension
blabbering
This year my goal is to gain a greater understanding of peace; to realize it in my life, in all areas of my life. I want to seek peace out in situations that I have not previosly seen it. I want to bring peace to situations that currently lack it. I want to be full of peace, surrounded by peace, and upheld by peace.
I am looking forward to my new journey, and where it will take me.
As I begin to ponder the meaning of peace in my life, some things jumped right out at me, two things actually...the TV and my cell phone! Seeking peace for me will mean breaking up with two peace suckers in my home...or in my car...or in my pocket...or at my finger tips! The peace robbing duo keep me from thinking, they fill my head with unneccessary noise. Oh, but I do love them both...it will not be easy to let them go.
