Peaceful

I lie down and sleep; I will wake again, because the LORD sustains me. – Psalm 3:5

I haven’t been sleeping well.
Is it because of the cats running after each other on our roof?
The barking dogs on the streets?
Or my mind is still awake even when my body is asleep?

I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. – Psalm 4:8

I think the dreams are still there. I have this feeling that my mind is awake throughout the night. At least, I no longer remember them.

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope - Psalm 130:5 (ESV)

But I am learning to be more at peace. Because I know that God is my peace and my hope.

Lion Chaser Manifesto

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshiping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.

Chase the lion.
