I could not relax! My sweet hubby had to deal with my tearful mood, which he is really good at. :) I thought a nap would help...kind of but not really....thought some retail therapy would help....nope, not that....thought a big soft yummy chocolate chip cookie would help...nope, not that. Surely, a strawberry milkshake would help...nope, not that. A nice evening on the beach...nope, not that. As great as all these things are they only give temporary relief. So why did I not turn to God in the beginning and wait until I felt miserable? I was trying to give myself rest but He is the only one that can give true rest. God says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." And how wonderful it is that He promises us this type of rest. Rest that is beyond our own understanding. Although I am physically tired from the 2 little ones, God has filled my cup back up and I am rested mentally. Thank you God for pouring out your love.
On another note...I did take a few pictures at the beach. I will share them once I download them on my computer.

Oh, I SO understand. I, too, seem to always seek it out in rest, food, people ... well, everything but the One who offers true peace.
What a wonderful, gentle reminder, friend.
Girl I hear ya! You are not alone...I too seem to look everywhere else than to the One who can give me true peace! If you still need a girls night to help lift you a little more...just call! Love you!
