And miles to go before I sleep...

I happen to love this poem its by Robert Frost:

Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening

"Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep."

So I couldn't help but quote the last line as my title because it is quite true in my life. In the midst of all the busyness in my life (moving, Cancer, ECT...) I still find myself "stopping by the woods" to enjoy exactly where I am at versus rushing on into the future or constantly looking back where I came from. It is always a good thing to stop and let the Lord speak to you especially in a time of crisis or a time of busyness. God's voices is still a still small one... He doesn't change Himself even if life gets louder! We are the ones who need to change... God has made it clear that he is constant! He will always be there... So if you can't hear Him try turning life down for a monent and let Him speak to you in the time when life seems loud!
I love y'all!
