You can tell I'm back in college mode because I'm consistently posting late at night.
Tonight I got the chance to see the university's dance team perform. It was lots of fun, mostly because the performers were having a blast. One of the choreographers introduced a piece intended to illustrate some of the peace she had been seeking through the course of the semester, and while I watched the dancers, I was struck by something fairly obvious.
How gracious was God to give us each our own avenues for peace?
So many places to find it! In creation, in poetry, in good food, in friendships, in music, in writing, in photography, in a warm bed - and these are just the ways I find peace. I'm sure you could add unique things to this list. God, in his infinite wisdom, didn't provide just one door for through which the believer can encounter his peace.
Today, I am content. I am thankful for a God who loves me enough to grant me peace in the midst of insanity. I pray for you, fellow adventurers, that you find a measure of peace in something around you today.
25 Days for Peace is a cooperative blogging experiment between myself and five other artists, designed to explore the facets of peace, particularly centered around this season intended to experience the peace of Christ. Visit this page to see the other contributions to this journey, and like it to join with us in exploring what peace means.
