Yesterday I was on Facebook and one of my friends sent me a message telling me that they are continuing to pray for me and let me know if i had any thing specifically I needed them to pray for. I said thank you and was about to close the message log when i came across something that inspired this blog post today.''I am praying that you will find peace in God again''. What does that mean? '' peace in God?'' not rest, not contentment, not strength, but peace. I realize that this is a timely application of where i am right now. I am not peaceful, in fact, I am more disillusioned, angry, bitter, hollow, sorrowful, bored, and stale feeling more than peaceful. But I realize that I need to be peaceful, I need to be calm, I need to be like a tree planted by a stream that is getting rained and hailed upon. Sometimes you just have to be peaceful in the face of the storms of life, like Ecclesiastes 3:8 says '' There is a time for war and a time for peace
