DM 033 - A Little Less Anxious

Do you ever feel like a duck who is calm on the surface of the water but beneath the legs are churning like crazy? Welcome to most of my life. Sometimes the churning was intense and other times it was just a subtle annoying disturbance in the background of my life. Either way, it sucked and it has been a serious journey to become a less anxious and more peaceful person. But in order to do that, I had to stop wishing and waiting for peace and instead actually listen to and learn about peace. In a book of the Bible, Proverbs, the writer personified Wisdom as a "woman crying out loud in the streets" to anyone who would listen. The assertion was that you could have "wisdom" and be a "wise person" if you would listen and respond to the things Wisdom was saying. I think of having peace the same way. I believe we can "have peace" and be a "peaceful person" if we are willing to respond to what Peace requires. We all wish for internal peace and even ask God for peace but have we ever stopped to listen to what Peace may be asking of us? In my experience, peace can usually be found when I either confront what I have been avoiding or finally embrace what I have been resisting. After doing those things I notice that Peace seems to be a regular guest in my home. Enough with all the metaphor? What in the world am I talking about? Listen and find out!
