im reading this book and in it was a description of what prayer is and what meditation is. what it comes down to is meditation is listening. how often do we stop to listen? my instincts and my heart is how i make my choices. but in all actuality my thoughts override everything and i eventually become indecisive and undirected. what i really need is to listen and meditate and oh how i wonder how to do that. 
what im trying to say is i feel like i am waiting. i don't know what im waiting for or even whom im waiting for it seems ever since my strenuous trek to nursing school, i felt at least my road had a goal but now, im still waiting. i've found a great place for myself, i have a good job, a foot in the door kind of job, and i have family and friends around, and yet i feel like something is not right, something is missing. there have been definite times of prayer: asking, pleading, begging . . . but i never found or felt i heard anything because my thoughts drifted and worried. 
i just think i need to stop. i need to live in the moment and not think so much because it throws me off guard and it tosses and turns my head into loops. if i meditate on the moment, and revel in the second and let my thoughts disappear i think i would be more at peace. and i think thats all i want.

  1. Hello dear friend! I just discovered your blog, which is very exciting because it will be a good way to stay tuned into what's going on in your life :) Anyway, I know this is an older post but it's the one that is resonating most with me right now. I've been struggling to embrace the moment lately....I often times look at this chapter of my life as temporary ("I'm still in transition") and forget that God has something planned for me right here and right now. Life never seems to be in that exact place that we are all striving towards, so how do we find joy in imperfect seasons? It think it all comes down to gratitude, perspective, and rest. Having confidence that God has a good plan even if we don't get to see the blue print. Trusting Him with all the details that we have yet to figure out and finding peace in knowing that He is preparing us for a greater purpose. Breathe deep, listen, be still :) Miss you so much!

    I have a blog too: http://www.kristineisabel.blogspot.com
