Our lives are a journey that we walk together not in order to become "good christian women," but rather to draw near to God so that we can reflect His light to those around us. Our stories, our paths, our dreams and our message are all unique. But we hold hands and walk boldly, fearlessly......onward...creating joy, hope, faith and peace in our wake.

Sleep....and rest

Today, I got home...and at first, I kept pushing myself.  I'm good at that.  I had laundry in and food cooking.  I was gathering dishes from around the house

Just a minute, I have to take a moment to vent....my ex just knocked on my door to get my son for volleyball.  Seriously....guess he probably forgot his phone?  Just not what I needed tonight.  Him looking in my front glass.  AAAAArrrrrrggggghhhh!!!  Just when I think that I don't have to think about that anymore. 


Ok, back on track.  I got dishes near the dishwasher, wiped counters, made the dinner....and started stock for soup tomorrow.  But, I was weary.  And finally, I got in bed.  And after a friend brought me tylenol, I went to sleep.  Really asleep.  And I have been in bed most of the rest of the day.  I did some grading...not much...in bed.  And I've watched a couple of shows.  But, mostly, I've slept and lounged around.  And my body is feeling better for it.  As is the rest of me. :)
I feel such an obligation to do it all.  To do it right.  I feel embarrassed that my home isn't tidy.  It's hard for me to give myself that kind of rest.  But, I managed to do it today.  It was a gift and I needed to embrace it as one. 
I hope that you are finding rest today...of body and of heart.
blessings.
