Sometimes it is in stillness and quietness that the battle is won.

Today I had a wonderful day. At work and during the ride home from Fort Lauderdale with my brother. The best part of the drive (apart from the laughter), the lack of TRAFFIC! It was a beautiful, peaceful ride home on a Friday none the less! I love days like today, they remind me that God cares about us. He knows when we need peace, because we can’t handle the storm anymore. He knows when to let the storm rage because the lesson it brings is needed for our growth. He knows when we need to smile, and when we need to cry. I love His intimate knowledge of us. I love that He WANTS to know us intimately. Today I am grateful for my blessings, and I am equally grateful for my trials. Just a reminder that God loves us and He allows us moments of sunshine and moments of rain, both are for our good.

“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).

So what am I thankful for today? Days of peacefulness.
