Be calm

Yesterday felt like a non-work day. Just me and my wife, watching movies, doing nothing.

That’s what she wanted.

At first, it was hard.

My mind kept running, thinking of all the things that needed to get done.

Then it hit me. This was the work.

Being present. Being here.

Sometimes letting go is hard.

Sometimes relaxing takes effort.

But slowing down matters.

I let my body rest. I let my mind calm down. I enjoyed her company. And it meant more than being busy.

If you’re like me, always moving, always thinking this is your reminder. It’s okay to pause.

It’s okay to rest. It’s okay to just be. Let’s go make amazing things happen today. God is good all the time and all the time God is good.
