One More Week



"You will keep in perfect peace (shalom, shalom)
those whose minds are steadfast
because they trust in You."
Isaiah 26:3
A steadfast mind is a choice. But, I have to say, so much easier to choose in the peace of this place.
It was a newsy day yesterday, and lots of conversation back and forth about how plans may yet again change based on circumstances beyond our control. I'm referring to our upcoming trip to Thailand and how that overlaps with some complex health issues for folks there, complicated further by the recent flooding in Chiang Mai.
In the end we're still on, but with some modifications, and not without a fair bit of 'big feelings' in play as I sorted myself out in the uncertainty through most of yesterday. You can check out the Highview to Thailand blog for more details.
For now I'll say that I woke up feeling a tad weary in spirit, despite a good night's sleep (remarkably).
That's why I'm staying mindful of the quiet today.
One more week here.
So much yet to do.
And also, just to be.
Hope you are finding your own peace on this Thursday.
Sending along this picture from my time down on the boat last evening for anyone who might need to borrow some tranquility.
