Join me in the
Five Minute Friday Challenge hosted by Lisa-Jo Baker. Participants write for 5 minutes
with no editing, no over thinking, and no backtracking. This week’s word is: Rest.
(Go)
Whether I like it or not I get to rest a lot. My body
craves rest. But just because I am lying down does not mean I am resting. Often
times my mind is working overtime; thinking up brilliant new ideas; deciding
what to create next; mentally writing to do lists; worrying how I will get them
done; wishing things were different.
I really have to get a grip when I find myself wandering
this path. It’s just not healthy to compare what I can do with somebody else.
And so again I must make peace with my abilities. Choose to focus instead on my
blessings. Do what I can and then rest - body and soul.
Psalm 91:1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. (NIV)
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. (NIV)
(Stop)
When I saw what today’s word is, the first thing that came
to mind was ‘Rest my Soul’ by Michelle Tumes. It is a great reminder to rest
and what that really means. May it bless you as it does me.
