Rest

I have had an "on the go" kind of schedule for about the last four months. I didn't get to spend a whole lot of time hanging out with my friend Freya during the two months I was staying with her. We'd see each other in the morning and sometimes in the evening but I feel like I have been running non-stop for a long time.
Today I took a small nap. I think it was about 10 minutes...just enough to get myself out the door to school to grade the stack of papers that keep calling my name. That nap felt so good.
I don't want to be so busy that I don't make time for rest. I am so thankful to the Lord for all that He is doing...so many wonderful miracles of provision for the things we need for the orphanage. I know that in the midst of life being so busy that the Lord wants to bless me with times of rest...He is good that way.

I want to go to church on Sunday and worship the Lord with all my strength...not exhausted. I want to go to work and enjoy these last two weeks of school with my students. I don't want to feel too tired to get out of bed. It's time to draw all my strength from the Lord...including physical. "Lord, help me to take the time to rest."
