I have loved makeup since middle school. My friend Alana and I would spend hours to apply just the right amount of eyeshadow and mascara. I hate to admit it but we even used a safety pin to separate our eyelashes! Something I later told my daughters to NEVER do!
On this morning the eyeshadow had been applied with just enough highlighter on the brow, a darker color in the crease and a middle color on the lid. The finishing touch was to add the eyeliner.
I opened the bottle, drew a line across the lid and as soon as I had finished, it happened! I sneezed! Now you may not think this is so bad, but my freshly lined eyes were now a black goopy mess! The wet liner was above and below my eye! It looked as though I had put my makeup on in the dark! I freaked out a little! Why now? Of course I only had 5 minutes to finish before I needed to leave for work. This meant that I had to quickly remove the makeup and try to salvage my eyeshadow!
I spent a moment to ask God to settle my heart and prepare me for the day.
Somehow, I accomplished the task, arrived at work on time and throughout the day removed what remained of the goopy black in my eyes!
What did I learn from this?
Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Philippians 4:6 (NLT)
It only takes a moment for things to get crazy in life. How you respond depends on that one little moment of asking God to settle your heart.
He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed.
Psalm 107:29
If Jesus can calm the storms on the water, He can calm your heart!
Father, thank you for calming our anxious hearts!
