A Day of Rest

While I am sitting here sharing my thoughts, I have 10 different projects I should be thinking about sitting on the back burner.  Although, I do have lists for my lists, so as long as nothing happens to my penned thoughts about each project I should be ok.....well, almost. 

I have had one of those weeks that was VERY unusual.  I was tired (inexplicably) in the middle of the week.  I felt fine on Monday and Tuesday, but Wednesday and Thursday were almost unbearable to get through.  I somehow have managed to pick up speed as the weekend in upon me.  What in the World?  I take my vitamins everyday, eat really healthfully and am too busy to really sit for long periods of time.  I have come to the conclusion that I was MENTALLY *easy, there* worn out.  This is WAY worse than physical exhaustion.  I can handle being physically tired, something a good night's sleep will easily solve.

I took stock of my days and realized I have no "day of rest"....I couldn't find a significant block of time where I could do nothing and feel ok about that.  After some prayer and serious consideration, I cut something out that I never thought I could let go of, and I have felt rejuvinated.  The Holy Spirit has renewed my mind with an incredible amount of peace that I actually feel happy. 

I am actually looking forward to God restoring my mental rest as I observe a day of rest.  He knows us better than we know ourselves.  How could I presume to know what is best for me above what God says is best?  Resting in Him.....
