It was great to hear from Ande today! So refreshing with his witty sense of humor and vulnerability.

When he first started, I was struck by his comments about resting. This seems to be a continual theme in my life recently and it was really confirming to me that I need to rest. As you can see from my personal blog, I have been reflecting on that concept a lot lately. And it is amazing how hard it is to implement, and not fall into the trap of our society that places such high importance on busy-ness.

I was then struck by his thoughts on storms and looking to Jesus to calm those storms in our lives. I like how Ande confronted us with our use of dixie cups to conquer the storm. I do that so often! My dixie cups would be my self-reliance, and logical thinking. And then if I can’t figure it out or solve it, then I pull out the escape cup.

So, what dixie cups do you use when faced with a storm? Let’s try to rest in Jesus, knowing that He is our protector and provider!
