So, what a ride this has been so far! I am so excited that it is down to 9. Well, i had a great sleep again last night.(Esther didn't snore!Just kidding, she did! No she doesn't snore.) I guess you don't know if i am joking or not now. I mean really, it wouldn't be nice to embaress my wife. So, let's just change the subject and relax. Speaking of relaxing, have you been relaxing? That was a topic i had a few days ago and i'm not just chatting away to fill time. I just feel so strongly that we have to get this topic of rest and relaxation and apply it. Plus, i know it will not be easy to do any kind of quality shift in a very short time, but you can start. I feel so blessed because it will be easier to start applying it to my life because i have to rest to heal, but guess what? So do you! YOU HAVE TO REST TO HEAL! Jesus rested!(He prayed alot too! He had lots of energy to pray because He was well rested.) When your focus on life is in order,the things of life don't seem overwhelming, so you can actually have a healthier outlook and feel rested throughout the day, because you are not burdened down with the things that so easily grab you and side track you. Do you think there are a few things out there that have a tendency to reach out and entangle you?(they can so often be things that are good which can make it even more challenging to say "No, not now" to)
I think i'll share what Jesus has to say about rest in Matt.11:28-30 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
So often we are following the walk that we want to walk, (the word, want, is the key)We might "want" to do something but is it the right thing or the right timing. I like the part in the verse where it says "learn from me, and rest for your souls" because i can just imagine reading the Bible(especially the Gospels)and receiving complete rest through my whole being as I follow His will and direction for my life. Take in a big breath of God's love and have a great day!
But, don't forget to rest!
In His Grip,
Tim
