Just Be!!!

JUST BE!!! what a simple phrase but filled with so much meaning to me right now...my friend Erin encouraged me this way with this phrase...it is a reminder to me to Just Be....just be living my life for Christ...just be me and let God love me for who i am...just be relaxed and trusting in God....just be Abby!!!

this was so encouraging because i have been struggling and super stressed out lately...Erin helped me realized that i am trying to hard and need to rest and relax...(which i haven't done in a long long time)....it is hard being in ministry and finding time to rest and relax and not worry about work or kids....

i want to ask you what does it mean to you to just be?!?! think about it!!!

Just be? Wow, this is so huge. I agree with much of what you just said and I think the closest related word to this phrase is "trust". I heard one person say that "be" is the beginning of "believing", it's the beginning of "belonging", it's the beginning of "behaving". Pretty deep huh? Lol. But for real, I think ultimately to just be means to just trust. And that's a difficult thing for us as humans, as Christians. I think this is so difficult because we live in a "fast-food" society. We're used to getting what we want when we want it, and with God, that's not always how things work.

Make sense?

Just Be...to be content with where God has you right now and to enjoy the little moments around. To sit back and look at all the blessings God has given you and to relax and enjoy them. To know that God "knows the plans He has for us." To just be yourself and be happy with that. To enjoy life and all that it is!
