Don't you wish you had someone telling you that you need to go take a nap? Or maybe you've been inside too long and you need to go outside and play for a while?
We get so wrapped up in our lives sometimes that we forget to slow down and take some time for ourselves and our loved ones.
I recently took a new position for a company that has me away from home far more than I or my husband likes. I'm up early, on the road for close to an hour, at work for an 8 hour day and then traveling home again. It takes my time and my energy just to keep the pace up and if I'm not careful it will rob my time and energy away from the ones who really matter.
As I was driving to work this morning I began praying that God would show me how to balance it all and not lose myself in the midst. Making sure I give the proper time to God, my husband, my family, my job and myself. It's not always easy - but it is possible, and sometimes - we just have to make the time.
He tells us in Hebrews Chapter 4 that He's made a way for us to enter into His rest.
When I trust Him to meet my needs - I am able to take some time for my family, my husband and myself.
I am looking forward to this weekend, where I can recharge my batteries, enjoy my husband and enter into His perfect rest.
Here's to #startingover15
