Hey Everyone,
Happy Wednesday! I just had to share this;
Yesterday was a day of note. I woke up to a couple text messages from my tenant buyers and my partner in Decatur about the property that we'd just sold. They moved in and contrary to what I'd been told, there were a raft of issues with the mechanics. Along with neighbors to the property who have caused endless issues because we wouldn't sell the house to them being a nuisance.
My norm would've been flat out anxiety. Instead, I sat and quieted my heart, engaged the Father and asked for His perspective on it. The peace was unreal. And He gave me strategy and assurance it'd be ok.
Then, in a momentary lapse of concentration, I reversed into another car at my kiddo's school in the parking lot just before her volleyball game. Again, my norm would have been self flagellation, guilt, shame and frustration.
My Wife couldn't believe the lack of emotional response that I typically would experience. His peace beyond understanding set in. A few core truths that have helped ground me in this:
- He works all things to the good of those who love Him
- He keeps him in perfect peace whose heart is set on Him (Which I'd woken up to going through my mind that morning)
What a good God we serve!
