Have you ever worked LONG hours a few days in a row. That’s been this week so far for me. When I was in the middle 0f the stretch, there was a huge goal ahead of me, keeping me going at a steady pace. Now that the goal is near completion, the need for rest can be fulfilled. That’s my goal for today… to rest.
If you follow my tweets or facebook updates, you know that I am watching 4 boys (by myself) today. I’ve never taken on this kind of thing before, so I was a little nervous coming off of my 4th straight 14+ hour day. Believe it or not, I am relaxed and rested today. There is no stress, I’m awake, and I’m having a fun day with the boys. I just Dropped Cooper off at school and as you can see, I even have the time to write a blog post. I guess sometimes rest comes with just a change of focus.
I love the way God gives me the kind of rest, right when I need it. He gives it in unusual ways sometimes, but I’ll take it any way He gives it.
