PRESS PAUSE

I'm often times thinking about so many different things that my mind gets tangled into a million pieces and I completely forget what I should be focusing on. Even just a minute ago I had to sit, close my eyes and tell myself to "focus, focus, focus". It was in that moment I realized that what I really needed to do was press pause and take a moment to focus on GOD. 

Anxiety, stress, and the feeling of having so much to do but not enough time to complete everything can often cause my mind to go on this wild ride with no finish line. I find myself caught up in too many different ideas- I need new furniture, maybe I should paint, what's for lunch today, what time do I need to get ready, should I send this email, did I ever clock in, I need to finish that project, what about all those items I'm supposed to be selling.... I'm not even joking, these are the thoughts that continuously circle through my mind, these and many ... so many more.

Being filled with too many thoughts can be totally overwhelming, but THANK GOD for the blessing of pressing pause! It's when the thoughts become too heavy to navigate that there is this wonderful opportunity to pause and allow GOD to guide. 

What a beautiful feeling it is when we are able to allow God to step in and guide us. Learning to let go of the chaos, press pause, and allow God to direct our steps is such a blessing. One thing we can know for sure is that when God directs our steps, we are sure to be going in the right direction. If you are feeling overwhelmed or even if you're not- take a moment to close your eyes, take a deep breathe, press pause from everything and in that moment- ask God what exactly should you be focusing on ...
