I've got peace like a river...

I feel peaceful tonight. It's a nice feeling.

I should feel tired, but a headache this afternoon lead me to a nap... which means I am still wide awake.

I love how there can be a million things going on in my life, or a million things that I should be doing, and yet I can feel peaceful. There's a verse in Philippians that says '...the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

I like that.

I really feel like the 'surpasses all understanding' is so amazing. And I feel like I can feel it. There's no reason that I should feel peaceful with my house being a mess, my husband wore out from work, our kitchen having water damage, a daughter who can no longer just go to sleep on her own, and a dog I'd like to give away most days. And yet, I sit here tonight feeling so peaceful. I really believe it's a God thing because I should want to pull my hair out.

So I'm enjoying the peace.
