Sweet friends. I hope you have had a wonderful start to your summer, be it with your kids if your a stay at home mama, a working mama, single gal or guy, a family, with friends, and even if your summer doesn't consist of being home those couple of months. I just hope that you are doing what you love and being with those around you whom you love and do life with.

Rest
I am not one who likes to rest. My brain is always on the go and ready for some kind of adventure. It is even hard for me to truly rest while I'm in recovery from surgery. I have tried and I have been forced too. But I have to share I have come to really see a potential love for rest. We all need rest. We all have busy lifestyles especially in this modern day world. Were constantly on the go, social media and shopping on line at our fingertips any time of the day.

When you feel like you were kicked in the gut
You guys Life is Messy. I fell to my feet this weekend begging God to come rescue me. If I am real honest I have been begging for weeks maybe even months. God please rescue me from the dark pit I have fallen in. I was being selfish. I wanted God to rescue me quickly so I didn't have to do the work. I didn't feel like I had done anything wrong except I buried myself in my own world. I was quick to push God out when he wanted me to take a different path. I was too scared or felt I knew best. I was quick to seek my friends first before God. I was quick to convince myself … [Read more...]
