That sums up my life the last 3 weeks...BUSY and today the Lord blessed me with REST!

"And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy because on it he RESTED from all the work of creating that he had done."  Genesis 2:3

On this frigid Sunday the Lord blessed me with precious time to just drink hot cocoa, bask in his greatness, prepare my things to go back to Bowling Green, spend time with my lovely parents, bum around the house, help cook dinner, and to enjoy the pleasure of not leaving the house. I was so joyous of this wonderful day of rest, and yet I am still in constant prayer about my future.  The Lord showed me this verse:
"Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes." James 4:14
I don't know what tomorrow brings, but I am completely ok with that.  I trust that the Lord will lead me.  I am learning to give my day up to him because this life is not my own.

This Day of Rest was MUCH NEEDED!!!
