Resting With My Daddy

“My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.” -Psalm 62: 1-2

This past week the Lord has been drawing into me as I have drawn into him. At a conference this past week I really felt called to sit back and just hangout with God. There was amazing worship two times a day at this conference. There were great singers, lots of instruments, smoke, colored lights, and hundreds of crazy Christian kids jumping around. While all of those things are nice, God really spoke to me and said, “Cassie, I don’t need all of those things from you to show me you love me. Just sit with me and rest.” So throughout the week that’s exactly what I did. While there was organized chaos (so it seemed) around me, the Lord quieted my heart and spoke tenderly to me. I was reminded that so often we want God to speak to us through the thunder but more times often than not, he is in that faint whisper.

One of my favorite places to be in the world is hanging out with my earthly Dad, James. He is, hands down, the most amazing man I know. Even so, that one of the last things my Mom said to me before she passed away was, “Cassie Denise, do not settle for any man who is less than your father. You deserve the best and that’s exactly what he is!” My Dad has been such a great example of a father to me throughout my life. I have been blessed by that and now understand God as our Father more intimately. Just as my Dad, James wants me to hangout and watch the game with him, My heavenly Daddy longs even more for me to spend time with him, Many times not even saying a word. Just resting with my Daddy and knowing that my soul will only find rest in Him.

*I had to put a shoutout picture up on this one for my Daddy! Writing this post reminded me of a shirt I wore when I was little that said “If you think i’m cute…you should see my Daddy!” *I love you, Daddy!!!*
