Is it possible to have peace in the middle of chaos? I guess it depends on what your definition of chaos is. Personally I love my life, despite mounds of laundry that always need done, kitchen that needs mopped, dishes that need washed, kids who are literally screaming for my attention. A husband who would love to have some time with his sweetheart just to share a slurpee and an uninterrupted conversation.
Yes people can be annoying, frustrating, and rude. Crazy, horrible, mean, and unexpected things can happen, sometimes all at once. Yet somehow God has shown me how to keep loving, keep hoping, keep living through it all.
Our family song is "Blessed be the Name of the Lord". I am very slowly learning that when unpleasant things happen , that is the best time to sing "blessed be the name of the Lord". After all anyone can say thank you God when life is great, and things are going their way. How hard is it though to sing this when everything is falling apart and it seems like our world will never be right?
Peace is only tranquility until there is a storm raging on all sides and you are sheltered and protected by HIS loving grace and mercy. Then we can truly see how far and wide HIS peace, love and mercy stretch. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. ( Philippians 4:7) Selah,
