Rest

Rest

It means different things to different people.

Mental. Physical. Spiritual. Emotional.

If I’m honest, I’m bad at all forms of rest. I do not like to stop. I do not like to sit still and wait. I do not like to trust God.

The first step in correcting a problem is admitting you have a problem, right?! So I can honestly say I’m working on learning how to rest. I’ve been thinking of rest often these days. Trying to figure out how to do it. What it looks like and so on.

Rest is something we need to do. For lots of reasons. Even God rested after He created the world.
