I feel like these days I am drowning in things I should be doing ... it keeps me awake and makes my heart beat faster than it should. They are good things, they are necessary things and some days they take more courage than I can muster to face them! But I am facing them, one at a time.
After a wonderful day showering a sweet friend and enjoying the reunion of my Daniel girls ...
and thinking of all of the other things I need to accomplish this weekend ... ummmm ... how many hours left??
I am going to stop blogging, stop working, stop thinking ... I'm gonna make a to do list, eat some dinner, and then sit by a fire and watch a movie.
Read this reminder yesterday ... and it was so good for my heart.
"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly." Mt. 11:28-30 (Msg)
Being brave means admitting we can't do it. Grace for the Good Girl keeps reminding me of how much the good girl tries to do on her own that she was never intended to do! And you know what, it's exhausting to try to be our own god. Gonna take off my burdens for today. He never really intended I carry them anyways ... and I'm gonna find some rest for my heart. Hope you've gotten to do the same ...
