Today, I found rest. For the first time, since I can remember, I slept a solid 9.5 hours last night. I guess I can finally say that my mind is at rest, and my soul is at rest. I was reminded of Matthew 11:28-30 which says:
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
I guess I gave up today, I turned it over to Him, and I took on His yoke.
I’m extremely grateful for this time to dial it back and to learn to rest again. It’s a blessing to break the routine, to do something different, and to relax my mind. God is good!
Blessings, Kris
