Listening to "I Love Your Presence" from the album "Here is Love". Amazing. As I sit at my desk typing I can not help but feel an amazing peace. A stillness within my own soul that only comes from God. A feeling like no other. Throughout the day several thoughts and feelings flood my mind and body. I don't always know where they come from or why they're there in the first place. They can be the most random of feelings and completely contradict how I was feeling just hours earlier. There is often a sense of instability and uncertainty that tries to creep in as the hours wane, leaving me often at odds with myself and even at times, the truth. And what can I do to combat these "quirks" and "jerks" of the soul that often fog the thinking. Well, thats easy. Rest. Rest in His presence; where I am safe and reassured once again that I am exactly where I am supposed to be at the exact moment I'm supposed to be there.
In realizing this, once again for the millionth time, all the worries and cares of the world fade away and my mind is at rest.
This evening after dinner, Tracey, Nico and I sat around the TV watching a movie and, once that was over, anything that looked interesting enough to tolerate. At that moment I had a desire to just step out for a bit, and just get things in perspective. The sun had not yet set and I'd been wanting to go out during the evening anyway. So, I did. Walked through the vineyard, up the hill and just... beheld. The world that surrounds me. Oh the absolute Beauty of this place. Hill after rolling hill, vast, open patchwork fields, stacked towns glowing romantically in the dusk, the sky- the array of brilliant pastels spread out before me, the moon already a glowing pearl. I spoke to God. "O Lord, what beauty you have made for us. What Beauty."
I told him my heart.
I love your presence.
