In The Calm

In The Calm by Sandi Patty

In the calm of Your presence
I am listening, Lord
I am still, I am quiet I am Yours

Let Your Word speak to me 
Let Your Spirit draw near
I will obey
The truth that I hear


In the calm of  Your presence
I am listening, Lord
I am still, I am quiet I am Yours


There's a thirst in my soul
For Your wisdom divine
I long for the peace
And life that I find


In the calm of Your presence
I am listening, Lord
I am still, I am quiet I am Yours


I am still, I am quiet
I am Yours


The words of this song by Sandi Patty inspired the name of my blog. As a stay at home Mom of 2 young children my day is spent in a whirlwind of activity from grocery shopping to cooking meals, picking out clothes for the day to tucking in to bed at night, encouraging my kids to push themselves further to nursing their boo boos. In between those chaotic times I run to God for His peace and wisdom.

Through life God teaches me. When I sit quietly with Him, He reveals His truths. The lessons aren't always easy but through them God shows me His Everlasting Love.


Jeremiah 31:3 - The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving - kindness."

One of the areas God has taught me the most is in having a Godly Marriage. I would love for you to join me each Monday as I reflect on the Lord's lessons of a Godly Marriage. My hope is that in your crazy, hectic life you find a moment each day to sit in the Calm of God's Presence and listen to Him.
