Rest in God. Rest to be silent, be still, wait. Sometimes our plans are not the plans god had for us. However if we rest in him he will show us the way he wants us to go. We may not always know that it is his way but it is. Think about something that you have done and not really known why, could that be his way and how did it turn out? For me it was moving here to NC I love this place and it has helped me to be here in so many ways. Ways that sometimes no one else understands but me and God I think from now on it will help me to take 10 minutes, each day, out of my schedule, clear my mind of everything, be content and just rest in him.
My devotion for today was "His brother’s brother" It refers to Genesis 4:1-12 Cain killed his brother Abel all because he was mad that God looked upon Abel’s offering with more favor than Cain’s offering. When God asked Cain where his brother was Cain said "I don’t know am I my bothers keeper?" But God knew what had happened. The devotion sais
No he was not his brothers keeper
Zoos have keepers
Bees have keepers
Prisons have keepers
But only families have brothers
I think this is a lesson of love and respect your family and others around you. Treat them how you would want to be treated. Because in the end it will all come back to you 10 fold rather it be good or bad. In this story God punished Cain and banished him from the garden. So no matter what it comes back on you, It will come back in this world and come back on you when you come face to face with God. Treat others how you would want to be treated and good things will come back to you. Rather it come to you here on earth or in heaven. But it will happen! Good things happen to good people.

Shannon, oh I love you. You are reminding me of things I use to do when I was close with God and walking right with him. I use to rest in him and it was amazing. Thank you so much!
I sure do know one thing, and this doesn't really have to do with the subject in this blog, but it's something to be thankful for. CP, you will never understand how thankful I am to God for bringing you into my life. You will never understand just what you are to me. You are my sunshine, my encouragement, my inspiration, the sister that I never had, a best friend who I feel like I can completely confide in. You have brought so much joy into my life. My heart literally gets warm everytime you are in the room. You are an amazing woman and you mean the world to me. Thank you so much for doing this blog. I will never forget you and I will always love you!
