Take that time of rest. But sometimes the relief doesn’t come right away. You have to wait for the project to pass, the meds to kick in, the healing to take place, the move to happen or new job to start, Lord knows there are a lot of stressors! It can be so easy to sit back and just let it happen to us, to wait for God to take care of it. Well, more often than not He is giving us tools to deal and cope with the situation on our own so we can learn from it and grow.
Darn parenting technique.
So while we wait, might as well use those tools. Might as well do some moving of our own–and usually that moving will bring us closer to Jesus.
Again, darn parenting technique. He is good. Well played God. Well played.
It’s not always easy being His child, but it is so worth it.
I so needed to hear this today, Nicole!
Thank you for your daily ministry to us all 🙂
I loved this, it is so true. God gave us the tools to know how we can push and when, but also in doing that to plan the rest needed that follows those busy rewarding times. This weekend was again one of those times for us. It was a great, great weekend but today I didn’t get up until almost noon and we are eating leftovers today and I am not doing much. Getting the strength for another wonderful weekend. My circle is hosting a salad luncheon and program on Martin and Katie Luther Saturday. I am looking forward to it also. Thank you and I love you!!!!
