Be still and know that I am God

How did I go from life being somewhat idealistic to not being so????
I know that life changes one choice at a time and it's the little choices that seem insignificant that usually are the important ones. I can look back and say that the choice to spend the night when I knew I should have left is one I know seems insignificant but was the in many ways the beginning of major life changes for me. Am I there now? Am I going to look back and see this as a turning point in life? I'm not sure but have a feeling this is the case.
As I write that I'm just thinking that if I believe God is truly working then does it matter that life doesn't feel so ideal right now? I'm thinking not so much.
Yet, God knows my heart hurts right now but He promises to restore the years (or any amount of time) lost to the locusts. Right now I think that's a promise I can hang on to. All God asks is that I be still and let Him reign; let Him be God....easier to say than walk out...
Thanks be to God for all His miracles in my life!!

Haven't had a post in a long time. Finishing my class at GTCC took more of my time than I would have thought. It was a great class!! It's been a very busy Saturday. Errands, Stampin' up party, mowed the yard, cleaned house, and laundry. My air isn't working and so it's been a hot labor!!! In the next month I have 3 long weekends and want to do some sewing so excited about getting ready for that.
It's become a season of being still and letting God be God. A season of dying to self; a season to not just know in my head God's peace but experiencing it in my heart.
Doing Ruth study with a few ladies from church and Beth Moore's blog. It's interesting seeing her perspective on a favorite story (Ruth is my middle name).
Weight loss is going ok. Lost over 30 pounds now. It's hard to believe. Had to add it twice. I have a 10 year High School reunion in September and so hope to look good for that. It's intimidating for me.
