Peace

God's peace is so amazing.
I don't think there's a way to fully describe or quantify the affect if can have on you.  And I say quantify instead of qualify because I feel like there's a true tangible element to it.
When I found out I was going to Oklahoma for the summer, I started FREAKING OUT.  Like... crying all the time and my heart was beating uncontrollably, and I was shaky... and I physically felt my mind and body reacting to this very unwanted and unexpected thing.  And I hated my attitude about it.  I hated that I didn't feel peace and even that was confusing because I wasn't sure if that meant it was wrong and I should try to get out of it or if that meant I just didn't have enough faith to believe I would be put in the right spot.
But oh my goodness.  I feel exponentially better now.  Yes, there is a chance I'll get relocated back to Northern Minnesota (yay)!  But I even feel okay about letting go of that and just accepting what comes. It's maybe not what I perceive to be ideal (poor Charlie :( ), but... I can't describe it.  It's just the peace of God that transcends understanding.  
Nothing really changed... just praying, offering to God a sacrifice of praise... and letting go.
Thank you God! That is a MIRACLE if I've ever seen one.
