Breathing is in involuntarily act our body does, it keeps oxygen to the cells in your body, keeping our body alive. 

YET...

Have you ever gone through a day and felt like you didn't have time to take a breath? Have you every felt so burdened by something that it's difficult to breath? I can answer YES, YES and YES!

Often I've scheduled myself from the moment my alarm goes off to the very moment I lay my head down on the pillow. Between work, blogging, choreographing, playing with my son, making dinner, walking dogs.... the list goes on and on, I find myself strategically scheduling when I shower. Gosh forbid something comes up that isn't on my carefully outlined in my schedule, I become unraveled. 

The chorus to Jonny Diaz's song Breath is powerful in such moments.

“Breathe, just breathe
Come and rest at My feet
And be, just be
Chaos calls but all you really need
Is to just breathe”

I encourage you to move about your week, breathing in joy, positivity and love, seeking God in those moments that may seem impossible.

 During moments of not understanding God's plan, my go-to song is Lauren Daigle's TRUST IN YOU. It's one of those songs that has just the right lyrics, laid out in just the right way, to explain what my heart is feeling.

“When You don’t move the mountains I’m needing You to move
When You don’t part the waters I wish I could walk through
When You don’t give the answers as I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You!

Truth is, You know what tomorrow brings
There’s not a day ahead You have not seen
So, in all things be my life and breath
I want what You want Lord and nothing less”

I mean, how cool is it that He knows what tomorrow brings. He is strategically planning out every step, every detail, every breath - all so we don't have to be burdened by it all.  His plans are more grand than we could ever dream of.

I know all of this in my heart, yet I fail to lean into this truth in practice. Instead I get frustrated when he doesn't "move the mountains I (need) Him to move." I feel let down when He doesn't "part the waters I wish I could walk though."

I'm determined to change my mindset today. I encourage you to move through your day today, along with me, trusting HIM. Finding strength and comfort in His steady hand.

MercyMe is an awesome Christian band I currently vibing with. Their song GREATER has lyrics that speak straight to me. It has just enough of a country sound that you can't help but tap your toe. Even my son likes to dance along!

My favorite lyrics:

“Every day I wrestle with the voices
That keep telling me I’m not right
But that’s alright
’Cause I hear a voice and He calls me redeemed
When others say I’ll never be enough
And greater is the One living inside of me
Than he who is living in the world
In the world
In the world
And greater is the One living inside of me
Than he who is living in the world”
