So over the last month and a half I have been in over 15 different states, went to CA and back, been in three different retreats, drove over 6,500 miles, got stuck in the snow storm that hit the east coast, spent the night in an airport, shared my faith a couple times, and hung out with a lot of different people. It was been awesome and draining all at the same time. I have learned something about myself over the last year and a half. I am not good at taking time to rest. I will go and go and go to make sure I get everything done that I can. I have always seen this as a good quality. However, I am learning that I am not even taking a sabbath to rest and reflect on what the Lord has done through the week!
After getting back from CA I cam down with a pretty bad cold. I literally felt the Lord saying… Stacie rest or I am going to make you rest. And He did. I had to take a day and just sit and do nothing. Now, I am a baby when I get sick. I know no one likes to be sick, but when I am sick I think my whole life is ending, So I do want to thank the people who deal with me during this time.
I am not thankful that I am sick, but I am thankful that the Lord made me sick to take some time and rest. I am thankful that I was able to take time and take care of myself physically, emotional, and most of all spiritually!
