White Noise

When I think of white noise I think of the LOUD fans in my boys rooms from an early age to drown out all the other 'noises' going on in the house.  I know I'm not the only person to have HUGE box fans in their kiddos room, right?! Right?! :o)

Anyway...

Today when the boys and I got home from school and were getting homework done, getting groceries unpacked, lunches made, getting ready for ball games, laundry folded, etc...I began to think about 'White Noise' and how often I let the 'white noise' of this world drown out what I really need to be tuning my ear to.  So often I'm guilty of the t.v., social media, friends, family and even my boys becoming what I'm focused on when I NEED to be focused on the ONE who IS. The One who is my reason for living. My reason for everything.  I don't want to be the person who misses what God is trying to show me because I'm distracted by the White Noise of this world.

I'm reminded of the scripture..."Be still and know that I am God." Such a simple verse but so much depth. Being still without any noise is hard for me.

During this season of life I'm making every effort to push the White Noise's of this world out of my ear and focus on the ONE who will/is carrying me through.

I was brought to tears today when I checked my mail.  I had a sweet card and check from some precious friends. I was blown away by their generosity. The Lord knows what I need even before I do. Each and everyday I'm seeing how much the Lord loves me and my boys. Whether its through meals, gas being put in my car, checks in the mail, sweet notes of encouragement, hugs, gift cards, groceries, etc.

I can rest in the fact that HE has us in the palm of His hand and will never leave nor forsake us.
