We spend so much of our days creating, but we spend so little time actually resting and enjoying the work that we have done.
It is good to be able to sit down and just enjoy the sound of the loon call echoing through the night, or the twinkle of the stars above us shining in the night, or the glass surface of a lake on a calm night. Such beauties are lost on us, for we spend so much time doing and not just being. I am going to just be.
It has been interesting to monitor my own ability to work during the week. I wasn't able to rest during my day off due to things I had previously committed to do, so I came into this week without having rest. My body didn't like that. It screamed throughout the day to stop. It yearned to be able to just sit and exist. My mind was clouded with a fog that no amount of coffee could lift. The only thing that rejuvenated me and allowed me to even finish this week was the strength and rest God gave me through a nap that beautifully fit into one afternoon where I was done. It will be interesting to watch and see how the amount of time I take to rest on my day off directly or indirectly effects my experience, the following week.
My prayer this week is that God just shows me how to rest in His love.
