So, after 3 months of faithfully blogging every day, I took a break over the last two days. Surprisingly, the world didn't fall apart, or quit turning! Being a pastor and a mom and a wife can be overwhelming at times. Regularly it seems that there are just not enough hours in the day to do all that needs to be done. I had the opportunity to rest this weekend at an awesome retreat in the woods of Livingston with other Young Clergy Families. What I took back with me this weekend, is that I am my biggest critic - I am my biggest obstacle. I want to be the best that I can for my family and my congregation, I want to serve God with all that I have, but true service includes rest; time to rest ones heart and mind, to lay down the busyness of the world and recenter in ourselves and in our God.
In you, sweet Lord Jesus, I rest.
