Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly. (Matthew 11:28-30, MSG)

It’s been a tough two and a half months, that I’m slowly starting to feel some relief from. It became overwhelming to keep up with this and everything else while still trying to enjoy motherhood through my difficult season.

Your Presence is Heaven to Me

The LORD replied, ‘My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.’ (Exodus 33:14)

My prayer for you today is that you will find rest in God’s presence.  May you find strength as He lifts you up.  May your hope be restored as God renews your vision.  May God’s peace truly guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus.  May you never worry of what’s to come or how bad the storm of life will get.  May you only rest in knowing that God is for you, always for you…  and because of this there is no one who can stand against you.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30)
