I am tired-it seems like all the time. I have lots of excuses too-four kids, a baby who hasn't been sleeping well, moving offices, settling into our new home, homeschooling, yada yada yada. I am also tired of feeling this way and started to get motivated on how to get more organized. I am slowly getting there-chore charts for the kids, monthly grocery list for when we are in the "big city", meal planning, and unpacking and organizing.
However, I realized this morning (when I was up with baby girl) that I needed rest-not just sleep, but rest. With all these things going on in my life, I seem to lose focus of where this rest comes from. This morning, I just spent some time with the Lord and releasing all these things to Him. He has commanded us not to worry and He has given us a way out. Why do I forget this so easily? He gently reminded me that He is God and He is in control-not me! Praise the Lord!
"Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Matthew 11:29
I only scanned your blog since we got it right before we left for Boston. This morning I was feeling very overwhelmed and was echoing your exact words. So even though I didn't get much done on my "to do" list I found rest at the master's feet. So it is only fitting that I read your blog now to found out we were having the same thoughts. :)
