My Mind Was Racing...

This journey has been such a blessing but the other day reality bit me. Harley likes school and loves riding the bus each morning. I had spent time with God, gone grocery shopping and had cleaned the house all before 10:00 am. I was on my way to have a massage and things were going great. When I noticed I had missed a call from Jerry and he needed me to call him back. So I did my mistake. He called me and to let me know he was going on vacation when I got back. I said “O.K no problem.” He wanted me to preach, “O.k. no problem.” Then he mentioned other things like Wednesday Nights, Centre College and other up coming events.

In a matter of moments my serene day was gone. One call sent me into frantic thinking. I knew that I couldn’t wait till I got back to find cooks for Wednesday nights and I needed to see what supplies we had for the Centre welcoming table. My mind was racing. My massage therapist said “You are so tense.” I could feel it too and the weight of everything hit me.

You see my old self kicked in. In fact I even went to church afterwards to get the ball rolling on Wednesday nights and other things. I have this need to make sure everything get done. But it also made me realize that keeping Sabbath is so important. We all need rest. We all need God. I had to take a deep breath and pray. I could feel my heart start to slow down.

So many of you can and do multitask every day of your lives. You work, work, and work. It’s who you are. I so get that. Yet God calls us to take the time to rest in him. Resting in God will help us to tackle everything that comes our way.

Take a time out today and just breathe. Rest in God. Feel God’s love for you.

Peace, love and happiness always,

Kristi
