*This isn't going to be about kids..........



I have had some time to reflect on just what this past weekend has meant to me. Our church held our semi-annual Women's Retreat~" Finding Rest".In order for me to be the best I can be.....I needed this time of "rest". Rest is a relative term considering the actual time spent sleeping was much less than I usually get on a regular basis at home. True rest of that kind will only exist in Heaven I think.

Anyway, back to rest......... "My soul finds rest in You alone" has always meant something different before this weekend. It meant rest amidst the storms of life that come crashing in~I need that kind of rest. However, a new kind of rest emerged from the events of the weekend:



*rest in laughter

*rest in being active

*rest in being silly with GREAT girlfriends

*rest in not having to talk to one single child for two whole days

*rest in knowing I'm not alone in my battles



My rest was restored! What I received was a gift that keeps me going.....I seek in a new rest, I serve in a new rest, I love in a new rest, I laugh in a new rest, I run the race in a new rest. God has given us everything we need to find rest~even the kind that doesn't always look like rest.



REST in Him today!
