Colossians 1:19 So spacious is He, so roomy, that everything of God finds its proper place in Him without crowding.

God is so big that all of my stuff not only fits, but it actually has a place in Him.

I feel overwhelmed a lot.  Homeschooling, trying to understand each of my children as a unique individual, figuring out my destiny, figuring out how not to figure out my destiny, but rest in God…  my sense of adventure that gets me antsy every few months to do something new.  Feeling anxious about my future, my finances, the happiness of my kids.  And of course not to mention my brokenness, my shame, my loneliness, and my pain that still overtake me sometimes without a moment of warning.  I can rest in God with ALL of these things.  I can put my feet up on his footstool of grace and relax.  I can stretch my arms out wide in the vast room of God’s love.  I can browse the shelves of God’s library where he’s got all of my stuff organized.  I can take a dip in the pool of God’s kindness.  I can roll out my yoga mat and breathe in God’s promises.

Oh Jesus thank you for this picture of your provision.  Thank you for being so big that everything fits.  Thank you for being so faithful, that it fits with room to spare.  Thank you for being so loving that it fits in a certain spot.  Thank you for knowing and welcoming all of my stuff.  Thank you for making sense of it when it just seems like a big mess to me.  Continue to remind me and show me that I don’t have to make sense of it.  That I can just relax in your orderly roominess and breathe.
