That Flicker

Via Pinterest

My list seemed to grow this morning as I thought upon 

all of the tasks I had at hand. Packing_ finances_ 

my son not feeling well from a cold_  moving day_ a close date_
a potential hurricane on the horizon of our move.
And I'm the type, when things start to mount up, can get overwhelmed.
When I get to this place there's only one thing I know to do.

Turn them all over_ all of my requests made known to Him.

All of these things that are weighing on my mind and 

trying to rob me of my present joy or present focus.

As I was talking it through with Him my eyes caught a flicker

It was birds on our deck

Some sitting perched (peaceful)

Some being playful with each other

When thinking about what I would write today for encouragement. 

I kept coming back to them.

 Somehow when seeing them, I feel it's a reminder_

"Look at the birds of the air,

they do not sow or reap or store away in barns,

and yet your heavenly Father feeds them

Are you not much more valuable than they?"

I let those words soothe because that's what they do for me.

And then I caught that flicker again

Only this time it was the flicker that spoke  HOPE.
Because when knowing the one whom everything comes from we can have..hope.

And in thinking about the birds I thought about this quote from Maya Angelou.

I also felt challenged by this...
is the song that I sing about Him?
What kind of song does my life overall sound like?

I love these Tuesday posts of encouragement.
For that's what I feel we are collectively doing_
we're singing our song....
we all have one to sing about.
