A Suitable Title

This is my first shot at blogging. I have tried journaling in the past in multiple ways. Not to say that nothing has ever kept my interest, but the fact of the matter is that the only constant in life is change! So this is me changing things up a bit.

The title I chose for my blog is "As I lay in green pastures."  This was inspired from Psalm 23. It's a psalm close to my heart and one that I refer to, well, a lot.  What a comfort and what a joy to know that the Lord is my shepherd and I shall not be in want.

Someone once told me I need to "lie down in green pastures." He was indeed referring to this passage and what he meant was this.  That I simply need to slow down! Stop and smell the roses. I get into flurries and my life becomes quick and chaotic as I try to spread myself too thin, between academics, extracurriculars, social life ect ect. This list goes on and on for the amount of things I try to involve myself in.

So this is my stopping, reflecting, and lying down in green pastures.

Psalm 23

A psalm of David.

 ¹ The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.   
² He makes me lie down in green pastures,
       he leads me beside quiet waters,
 ³ he restores my soul.
       He guides me in paths of righteousness
       for his name's sake.
 ⁴ Even though I walk
       through the valley of the shadow of death, ^[a]
       I will fear no evil,
       for you are with me;
       your rod and your staff,
       they comfort me.
 ⁵ You prepare a table before me
       in the presence of my enemies.
       You anoint my head with oil;
       my cup overflows.
 ⁶ Surely goodness and love will follow me
       all the days of my life,
       and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
       forever.
