Take in the quiet

So I’ve been finding myself going through these wave of emotions as I’m sure a lot of you are as well. I’ve been reading and praying but the last few days I’ve really been struggling just trusting in the Lord and trying to keep pressing on everyday. All of our lives have changed lately..we’ve all had to make big changes and it doesn’t something to you when everything around you changes and you have to try and adjust. We all deal with change differently. I know that God never changes and I’m so very thankful that he is always the same and that he is so good!! I know that to be true. I’m not struggling with God and his goodness it’s just in general to keep that in mind and be joyful right now in this time of isolation from family and church family. I was reminded to that we are not isolated from God..he is with us! I decided today when I had about 20 minutes to myself to do some writing.  I used to write a lot when I was in high school to help me process things/situations and just to express what I was feeling. I haven’t done that in a long time..so I decided I needed to give it a try today and it helped. So I would like to share something I wrote and hopefully it encourages someone as I know we are all on this together.
Take in the quiet 
People are saying enjoy the stillness
Take in the quiet 
I feel anything but still 
It’s really not quiet
My mind is restless
My body aches
I’m irritated with life
I want to move
I want to laugh
I want to be excited
Enjoy the stillness
Take in the quiet
Where do you get still? 
How do you find quiet?
Everyone is restless
Everyone aches
Life is irritating 
Let me move
Let me laugh
Let me be excited
Enjoy the stillness
Take in the quiet
I will search for stillness
I will seek to be quiet
I will move
I will laugh
I will be excited
Enjoy the still
Take in the quiet
I can be still
I can move 
I can laugh 
I can be excited
Lord help me to be still, help me find you in the quietness
Even if all is loud
Lord help Move
Lord help me laugh
Lord help me be excited 
Enjoy the still
Enjoy the quiet
