Allow yourself to rest…

There are days you just have to rest and “not” feel guilty for it!

The hardest thing for me is feeling like I am wasting days, time, moments. I have been sick for so long and I am tired of it! When I think of all the days, hours, moments lost due to my health it can very quickly turn to discouragement and disappointment. I get in my head, or would that be the enemy whispering lies? Hmmm

Here is the fact… I was right where I was supposed to be and still am everyday. God knows me better than anyone and the only way He could get to me was allow me the opportunity to be still, in His presence. Unfortunately that included some really hard dark medical issues. Thing is if I had to go through all of those dark, difficult days to find the love of my life… Jesus! Well I would do it all over again.

Therefore I have to be mindful of these times. When I have pushed myself to hard or are just having a bland day I need to take a deep breath, step back, look at the situation and remember who is in control. I need to just be still and rest, in Him. Enjoy the moments given even if they are not what I want.

I also have to keep in mind when plans get changed, cancelled there is a reason bigger than us as to why we are not to go. God has went before us and knows what is in our path, He is protecting us… find peace in the disappointments and unexpected.
