Selah

It’s almost 3:00 in the afternoon and I’ve been working on a blog post since 7 this morning. Finally facing the struggles I’ve been having with myself the past few days, I admitted that all I really wanted to do was curl up in a good, heavy, handmade quilt on the couch and watch mindless television. How long has it been since I did that? I know I did...When was that?

I feel like I’ve been walking around stuffing my face with all these things I HAVE to do. Things I need to do, but what do I WANT to do? Why can’t I admit what I want to do and why can I not allow myself to do that? I convince myself that I’m doing what I want every single day, but really, am I?

For almost three months I’ve been doing a Bible study...a 10 session Bible study...why has it taken me so long to get half way through it?

Honestly, I’m glad it’s taking me this long because each time I make time to study I learn something that is impactful for that time in my life. If I had flown through it I surely would’ve missed some important stuff. This time, there are things that happened yesterday and even today that wouldn’t have made today’s study hit home as hard.

Today-I’m telling you, whoever decides to read this, today is important. Who you see, what you do, big or small-it’s important. YOU are important. Live your best life the best you can. Embrace it and share it. Someone needs your impact, your input and your truth. Take care of yourself.

My best life is right now. I have embraced it and all I want to do is share it. The truth is I will kill myself trying to that...and if I don’t take care of myself I just may accomplish that first.

Galatians 6: 9 “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”

Please God, let me faint not…

Matthew 11: 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Sigh.
