Rest

It's funny how our bodies tell us we need rest sometimes. As you saw in my last blog, I've had a lot running around in my crazy brain lately. I've been working, trying to keep up with all of the junior high and running around like crazy. I haven't had a lot of time to just truly rest.

Well, my body decided this past week that it was going to rebel. It didn't like how busy I was and so bam, here came strep throat. I stayed in bed all day Friday and a little bit of Saturday. I came to church on Sunday and then went straight home and went to bed.

Even though I really dislike being sick, I take it as a sign sometimes. In the Bible it talks about us having a Sabbath. That is not a word we hear a lot these days, but it means a day of rest. A day where we put everything aside and focus on God. I think God intended it not only for us to spend more time with Him, but also for us to just get some rest. We work and play hard and just need some time to recharge.

Friday was a really nice day to recharge for me. I didn't realize how much I needed it. Thankfully, my body knows how to force me to rest.
