Go.
So, I literally Laughed Out Loud when I read this
prompt. Ha! Okay, it was more of a
soft chuckle.
Anyhew, I just took this picture on my phone last
night. I'm experiencing a God
mandated rest...ie. I'm sick. All
I could manage from under my quilt was block building direction...and a
gratefulness that they (for the most part) play well together.
Rest should be a good thing...but my personality doesn't do
REST well. Right now I'm happier
than I've ever been. I'm so
blessed, involved in ministries I LOVE, kids are at, dare I say, easier phases
of life...Our marriage is caring and closer than it has been in forever...well,
probably pre-kids. HA!
But I stress on things like God's timing...and I push and
manipulate and whine and complain...and take on more without consulting THE ONE
who knows all my whos, whats, whens, wheres, whys, and hows. So, sometimes...I hear Him gently
say..."Okay, so now you're sick...can you take this from My Hand? Use this time to build up your
reservoirs...get into My Word and fill up with what you need. I'm in charge. I'm always in charge!"
So, I'll pause...and read...and pray...and take time to
write...oh, cathartic muse. *sigh*
STOP.

Sometimes we are forced to be at rest when we're sick. It sounds like you're a very energetic person and I'm sure you need to be with children. But enjoy this rest and get better soon. So glad your post was ahead of mine today for Five Minute Friday.
Blessings and love,
Debbie
I'm not good at being still either. I had a horrible respiratory infection that lasted a month. I completely lost my voice for over a week. I truly could do nothing but rest. God knows what we need : )
Enjoy your weekend and feel better soon!
