Sharita gave us a journal and a BREATHE card:
- Be Still
- Remember
- Examine
- Apply
- Trust
- Hope
- Expect Experience
My hotel room in Phoenix had a guitar in it, so I thought I would "Be Still" by plucking Amazing Grace. But the guitar needed to be tuned. I thought about the metaphor of Being Still as allowing us to be tuned by the Lord.
I sang two stanzas of Amazing grace as I plucked the strings, switching octaves at the high and low points of the song because my voice had not warmed up. I sang the last stanza acapella even though I was way off key because I really believed that the Lord's pleasure was with my heart, not the technical performance of my voice.
Father, thank you for loving me. Thank you for freedom to be who I am because Jesus has already measured up. Your grace is amazing. I love you.
