Steady as She goes

     I am reminded today to stay steady. Steady in my awareness that God is in everything. Nothing begins or stops without His say. The crazy driver, the impatience of the red light, the discouragement of unwelcome news. But also, the joy of each new morning.  For the close of every day. A smile from an unsuspecting face. The triumph of a daily struggle. Steadiness in my life is greatly needed and appreciated. I don't mind someone telling me I'm wrong when I am wrong. I look forward to spending time in Adoration, I welcome new challenges. It's only when I overthink my steadiness of the events at hand, that my peace diminishes. I consider myself an adult, so therefore I'm able to multitask and that includes overthinking. But steadiness in situations is something I don't tend to remember. My mind starts to wander and before I know it 10 minutes have been taken away from my God. He tells me continuously, to just let him handle it. But then I start feeling unsteady. Thinking what I can do myself, to help myself?. I know it seems almost impossible, but it is a lesson all of the great Saints tried to teach us. Steadiness in their thoughts about God. We are no different than them at our desire to have and serve God with all of our might.  To continuously have Him in every thought, word and deed. It's only when it's just a desire though. We (I) must make a greater effort to have Jesus on my brain, 24/7, 365 days. Always. It's possible! If I truly say I love God and adore Him, and trust Him, then this great virtue will be one of my all-time goals. 

     Steadiness. That will be my aim. Then "steadfastness" will remain. I say that's something good! Because steadiness will help me recall you oh God! And it is in You I wish to dwell.
