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.....
Glad you have found the importance of rest, my sweet friend. I love you!
