Rest for the Weary

I probably won't have time to write tomorrow, so I figured that I would write now.

Constantly juggling different portions of my life, it has come to the point that my life should be considered a balancing act.

I am not discouraged, but I would consider myself to be very weak right now. I have no room to be discouraged when I am finally excelling in both my education and occupation. While this winter was rough transitioning from counselor to teaching and establishing my reputation at my former high school, I have now officially climbed to the top of the subbing list. Thus, it is pretty much guaranteed that I work every day of the week.

It was definately due to God's grace and Him teaching me through the painful experiences that he had me undergo in my former job as a counselor. His wisdom is abundant.

I'm the type of person that likes to push myself beyond my limits. I believe that there is a good lesson of reliance on God when you are put into situations where you must persevere.

Perhaps I have pushed myself too far beyond my limits.

I forget the importance of rest and rejuvenation.
I forget that he can teach us so much we are still.
Even When we recognize the true purpose of sabbath.
Even in His creation, he set aside time to rest.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest"
--Matthew 11:28
