I Needed to Feel Small


Yesterday, I needed to feel small. To sit by the ocean's edge and hear the waves crash and stare out at the vast expanse of water and remember, that God is big and His love for me is endless.

Yesterday, I needed to feel small. To watch as my children play in the surf and dig for buried treasures. Because childhood lasts for only a brief minute or two, and you have to take lots of mental pictures to remember it was here at all.

Yesterday, I needed to feel small. To leave the sink full of dirty dishes behind and feel the sun on my face and know that tasks left undone can wait for another day.

Yesterday, I felt small. God was bigger and my soul was quieter. And it was the most glorious feeling I have felt in a long time.

Looking Forward,
Stacey

Your turn: Can you relate? Do you ever need to feel small and quiet? Where do you go?
