Pause and Calmly Consider

 While looking through blog posts I found this draft.  Not being able to recall what I had written, I clicked in to find out.  What?!?  When did I write this?  September?   I truly don't remember typing, or even thinking, these words, yet here they are.  Hmmm,.  Should I hit publish?  These are obviously emotionally charged words poured out during an emotionally intense season.  Do they merit publishing?   As I pause to listen internally for guidance there is a stillness, a sense of waiting that is pregnant with promise.  What will I do?  Will I follow the crowd and give full vent to feeling fueled words, or will I pause and calmly consider before I click that button?  I hear the word Selah.  Selah is a word that means "pause and calmly think of that".  Ahhh, there is an inhale of Peace followed by an exhale of release.  Yes, Selah.  Pause and calmly consider.  Giving thanks for the Selah moments today.

During seasons of intensity and strong emotions may the Selah moments create Peace and release for you as well, dear friends.

Shalom, shalom
