Check one, check one...
is this on?
Can you hear me now?
I know how you feel.
Some days.
Well, some days are just a bit tougher
than others.
Some days you wake with sleepy eyes
and
a sleepy soul.
Some days you may feel as if you're wading through a fog.
Sifting through a haze.
Seeing
but not really seeing.
Speaking
but not really speaking.
Listening
but not really listening.
Some days
you're just good to get through.
And do it all over again.
These days?
My soul is crying out for food.
For water.
For sustenance.
And substance.
No more spinning wheels.
No more
more.
I want to invite quiet into my day.
I want to save faith a seat.
I want God at the table.
I want His dream for my life.
Because the daily
can be
heavy
and
ill-fitting
sometimes.
And without Him,
it's all a bit too much.
With Him,
today,
you and I could invite beauty.
We could intentionally
make space for
the lovely
and
the majestic
and
the Creator
who made it all.
Including you.
And me.
And when it gets too weighty,
let's you and I get alone with God.
Knowing that He is the only One
who can speak to our souls.
And give us rest.
Today.
Many blessings,
Deni
Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion?
Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life.
I’ll show you how to take a real rest.
Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it.
Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.
I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.
Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.
~Matthew 11:28-30
