Romper Room

When I was little there was a show on called Romper Room. The theme song said "Do be a do bee and don't be a don't bee." Well my "Do bee" and my "Don't bee" have been colliding as of late. Stated another way, my Do-er and my Be-er have been having a fight. My flesh says go and go, do and do. My spirit says stop striving. Listen for His heartbeat. The only way to hear it is to be. From just about every direction I'm hearing the same thing. Rest. Rest well. Repeat. Be intentional about listening. Reflect. Ponder. Then, I feel like I'm doing that too much and being lazy. I've really had to ask God where that line is. How can I be a "Do bee" and not cover His heartbeat with busy, and how can I be a "Don't bee" without being slothful. It is a fine line, but one that I believe He wants me to explored. This mornings sermon implored us to put our whole faith in God. Trusting in Him alone to keep ourselves in balance. We cannot earn it or learn it. We have to look (at Him) and live. I'm looking at Him, and believing that my hive will have the proper balance of "do-ing" and "be-ing"

Greetings -

I remember Romper Room, and what about Captain Kangeroo? Those programs taught such great lessons.

Do be encouraged - GOD will provide you exceeding abundantly above all you can ask or think....
