blowing my nose has become all too familiar and repetitive today, my throat is sore and my head feels heavy. all the moving, camping and painting has worn me down and my body is yelling at me to TAKE A BREAK! my intentions are good (all the busy activities are proving successful and enjoyable) but i need rest. rest? ha!...who actually gets to do that these days?!
in the midst of all my craziness i keep reminding myself of the truths in psalm 16:8-11. in His presence there is joy, no matter what my days bring. He is a mighty Savior and i am secure in Him and because of that truth my days are full of rejoicing...for His glory alone and not my own.
I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption. You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasure forevermore.
REST in God's TRUTH...and live like crazy with His joy!! (don't forget to nap too, especially if you have the sniffles)
Rest!!! That's what I'm trying to do more often. It seems like Steve and I are always on the go, go, go, and never leave enough time to just REST!!! Hope your sniffles go away soon, cause we are coming over and want to par-tay! Well, not really party I suppose, catch up and chill is more like it! Love you friend, get some rest!
