Rest is personal. Rest must be pursued. Your body, mind, and spirit don't answer to other people, they answer to you. You answer to God. This is my sacred place. In the quiet of morning, this is where I rest. No matter what the day holds, this is equips me. What equips you? We rush, rush, rush, and even find ourselves in empty spaces... but do you rest? Your schedule doesn't dictate the state of your body, soul, and spirit. Your schedule can be full with nothingness that drains you. It's what you do, day in and day out, that cares for these three things. No one else will make sure you're doing okay. You have to pursue peace. If you know Jesus Christ, time with Him provides rest. But you must pursue it. Thanks @kristendaukas, who made my morning repost worthy. In an hour I’ll be sharing the gospel of Christ, His unchanging character, and the hope He that gives us in a rapidly changing world. Do you need hope in your hard circumstances? God’s word tells of God’ unchanging nature. Read my new blogpost 5 Truths When Life is Hard. Link in profile. This is what a parent teacher conference looks like when you sleep with your kid’s math teacher. . . In all fairness, this is our life in a small town. Been sleeping with one of my kid’s teacher for over 10 years now. So proud of my son and teammates! Regional xc winners. Placing 1,3,8,12,13. Semi state bound! Chicago the last two mornings, this morning, home. Yesterday morning I woke up in a home in a quiet neighborhood in NW Chitown of a young family (swipe left). I heard them scurrying around as they walked out the door to work, daycare, school. *oh, those days.* Days when sleep is short, time is elusive, and waking up early for quiet time is nonexistent. But time for God is still essential. I used to keep my bible and journal in the desk drawer in my classroom, getting to school early so I could have 15-20 minutes of time to debrief home and school before kids entered my world until I crashed at the end of the day. Now, my work is non-traditional, never the same, but the pursuit of time with God is even more important. It's what keeps me grounded. It's what changes me, because I still need to grow, learn, and change. It gives me peace when overwhelmed at life outside of my four walls. Or inside my four walls. No matter what stage of life you're in, pursue God and time with Him. Pursue His word. Grab a journal or drawing notebook to release your racing thoughts and emotions that are all over the place. You and I are the only ones who can take care of me and you. You can't pour out when you have nothing left. In the stillness of the morning, night, time in the carpool line, or over your lunch break, seek Jesus. Let His word be your quiet, no matter your crazy.
