Whirling dance

My plate is full.
Overflowing stuff to do this week.
Feels impossible with all that I need to get finished.
Then it gets more impossible with the bad cold that has hit our family.

The illness isn’t that big of a deal, but…
to me it feels like everything is crashing in around me.

You know what I mean?

In this moment everything in me wants to plow through my ‘stuff’ hoping to meet my deadlines.

Yet, in this moment everything I need is to focus on my King.

As I blast worship music in my headphones…
trying to keep my head free from distraction,
I remember that Jesus is a turning God.

He turns chaos into peace.
He turns ashes to beauty.
He turns ugly to beautiful.

And look at this gem I found…

Psalm 30:11-12

“You did it:
you changed wild lament
into whirling dance;
You ripped off my black mourning band
and decked me with wildflowers.
I’m about to burst with song;
I can’t keep quiet about you.
God, my God,
I can’t thank you enough.”

OH, how He loves us!
