Are You Okay?

This past week has been a blur. Last Tuesday I started feeling bad like feverish and coughing. On Wednesday I was even worse. I went to the doctor on Thursday and found out I had the flu. Needless to say, I didn’t get my blog completed for the week. 

I was supposed to be resting at home. However, thoughts and worries were bombarding my mind. How will I get everything done? I have so much on my list of to-dos that I will never catch up. My house is a mess and how will I get it cleaned up before I go back to work again. I need to go the grocery store and if I am contagious how will I get the groceries for the week.  

There have been many times this past week that I had to take a deep breath, turn on the worship music, and close my eyes just to relax. 

I started reading a book by Sheila Walsh, It’s Okay Not to Be Okay. Wow I needed to be reminded of this. 

I spend too much of my time trying to do it all! Are you like this? I end up wearing myself out and yes catching the flu! 

Matthew 11:28-30 states, “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 souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

We don’t have to be strong all of the time. We cannot do it all!

God is right there waiting. So, take a break and get some rest. God’s got this!
