Three minutes. What can I say in the three minutes before I have to start closing up shop, locking the cupboards, and shutting the door on my ninth week of my fifth semester of my time here in Youngstown, OH? I can say that I just want to be at peace. I sat on a rock along Wick Avenue for 10 minutes earlier this afternoon, just watching. Sitting and finding calm in the passing of cars and cool wind blowing on my face.
One small respite from the last nine weeks, to remind me that time is passing quickly and I will be home soon enough. But today I am here, and God is good, and decisions can wait for just another 10 minutes.
So go outside before it's so cold you'll freeze your bum off. And sit. And watch. And listen. And pray. And remember that right where you are, God is using you and loving you. Contentment comes through God alone. Not by being somewhere else or just getting through this one big project. There will always be somewhere else and one more project.
So for just a few minutes. Be still. And know that He is God.
