I actually was totally free this week-end...nothing Friday nite, Saturday or Sunday (other than church)...you know what? It was a little weird! As much as I have been craving "down time", I actually got a little anxious about having no commitments to attend to...now that's really weird isn't it?
It took me about 1 day and a 1/2 to relax...in the meantime I worked in the yard, sorted out a couple of drawers, made a few calls I owed on my "to call list", and started on summer reading list (my goal is to work through all of Jane Austen's books...what a crack up!)
I realized that I so fill my days that I'm starting to have trouble when they aren't full, and that's just crazy! God was so wise when He told us to "come a part and rest for awhile". Rest time, that "think time", is so vital and I tend to throw it all away. SO...here's my goal...this summer I'm going to work on being OK with just "being"! I want to enjoy swinging on my porch swing; sitting at my porch table and reading...just being...
You know, I'm pretty sure if I STOP a little bit more, God won't have to wade through so much "stuff" to speak to me...I'm gonna see if that's really true, and I'll let you know! :-)
