who get's enough rest these days anyways?

So, lately I've been feeling convicted of the little amount of rest that I get and have been getting. Life has given me the impression that in order to feel like my life is being used well that my calendar always needs to be full. LIE! Think about it, how many times do you try and squeeze in coffee with a friend, and during that time you're thinking about the next thing you have on dock to go do.

Christ has called us to rest in Him. How often do I really do that? You'd think someone with the health issues that I've got would be intentional about these things. Well, I hate to break it to ya, but I'm one of "those people." So, let me encourage you to encourage one another (and by another I mean me too!) to slow down and pay attention to the amazing things that God is doing NOW, this minute, this day.

Matthew 11:29

"Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."
