Resting.
Why is is such a difficult thing to do?
Is it the fear of missing out on something exciting & new?
Is it the fear of learning more about ourselves than we want to when we have to stop and be still?
Is it wanting to do and be so much that you forget who and what you really are?
..................................................................
I'm attempting to find pockets in my days to just {rest}.
Lately it has been sitting in my car watching the world move around me...
or even turning the lights down low in my classroom during lunch to just be still.
I'm a multi-tasker. I'm a
good great multi-tasker.
I can get more done in a day than most people get done in an entire weekend.
But one thing has been missing lately.
Rest.
So, I'm sincerely and whole-heartedly trying my darnedest to find time each day {even if it is only 3 minutes} to rest.
.....................................................................
Do you feel disconnected?
Do you feel like you can't keep up?
Do you feel as if there are not enough hours in the day?
Do you want to be that person that you were created to be ... but sometimes just can't figure out where they went?
I do. And I know that I am NOT alone.
........................................................................
Rest.
Rest in your car.
Rest on the floor of your kitchen.
Rest on the edge of the bathtub while your kids splash and play.
Rest in the space you find yourself in because you have to be there.
Rest easy.

Psalm 62:5
"Find
rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him."
Matthew 11:28-29
"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."
.........................................................................
I'm not good at resting - I'm the first to admit it.
But, I am diligently trying to figure out how I can incorporate that essential time {that I so desperately need} into my day.
You should try it too.
