my brain is seriously all over the place and it's only the 2nd week of school. I must sadly inform you that I'm going to be taking a 4 month break from blogging.
Seeing as I have probably very little viewers, it won't be a detrimental decision but nevertheless :)
until december,
ciao!

you are my resting place
Sabbath: a day of rest and worship
I was asked in an interview this week whether I'd rather have a job where there were ups and downs or rather steady. I replied I'd like ups and downs because I love feeling challenged but also having breaks.
This term, I'm doing a ton more. I'm doing small groups, being more involved in KCF, actually meeting new people, studying a ton more, watching NO dramas, reading more, cleaning more, being involved in Konnect, going to church. Yet, although I feel like i'm a million times busier, I'm not overly stressed.
What's the difference?
One thing different this term is the amount of time i'm spending with God. I'm enjoying every moment I get with him and i feel as though I'm renewed when I do take the time to put aside my thoughts and judgements about how the world should be and just ...
rest.
Matthew 11:28 says
"come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and i will give you rest"
I felt so tired this weekend. Frustration from a million things seemed to come to me in one day and I had no one to turn to. Being the immature Christian I am, I didn't even turn to God. It wasn't even something I thought about doing.
Yet when I dragged myself to church on Sunday, I was given so much rest. I was able to stop, slow down, and just be with the person who knows me even more than I do. And through this realization, I was able to lay everything on Him and just...
sigh.
