A few days of playing hookie, an early bedtime, sneaking seconds on dessert when nobody's looking...sometimes reverting to adolescent behavior is downright rejuvenating. I highly recommend it for anyone feeling stressed as I've been the last few days. I wasn't recognizing my accomplishments and pushing myself too hard, demanding perfection. Not enough rest usually leaves me feeling overwhelmed and ready to just chuck it all. I wasn't about to do that though so I prayed for God to keep me from giving up and left just enough room to let my friends in.
Since then, I've been taken to lunch, a tour of a few beautiful places by the lake, shared a relaxing tea and a chat. Friends are highly under rated and without them, I would not be who I am today.
He provides answers in unexpected ways sometimes. There is always a balm in Gilead, if we just keep our hearts open. I love that picture of Jesus shown knocking with the door handle on the inside. The wonderful thing is, I've discovered that He owns my heart.
