It has been one of those weeks for me. You know, summer busy stuff. Sports practice, dance recitals, road trip planning…LIFE. I actually had to remind myself today to stop and take a breath. How crazy is that?
I looked up breathing today and I read that we breathe in and out 22,000 times a day. We are powered by our breathing. I thought about this and then took it even further in saying, “what powers our breathing?” It’s pretty amazing how God works in our lives. He created us. He made our bodies to work in ways that are steady and rhythmic. He created breathing. We need to pause sometimes to remember that. Even when we are at the “end of our rope” we are still breathing. One breath of 22,000 we take in the day. Each breath powered by God. Crazy how that propels us, huh? It sure made me feel less alone in my stress. Breathe deep.
