I haven't blogged in a while.
Life has been crazy...more on that later...
I heard this song today and though it's not the first time I've heard it, it just really hit me today. In the midst of the crazy that's going on in my life (it's good crazy, btw) I haven't been handing it over to God. I've been trying to carry it all on my own, my mind constantly spinning to work things out, plan, anticipate what's to come, etc. I haven't been obedient in seeking Him and letting Him carry my burdens. I'm tired. I'm worn out. I'm anxious and excited and a whole host of other things. I am in need of rest. And not the kind of rest I've been hoarding at every possible opportunity...I need the rest that only God provides when we turn to Him and hand everything over. Not the naps that still leave me feeling drained and out of sorts.
There's a lot coming up in the next few months and the only way I'm going to make it through is by intentionally spending time being still in His presence and releasing things into His care instead of holding on tight and trying to run things on my own. I'm so thankful that no matter how many times I try to do things on my own, He is always there when I realize I'm simply not fit for the job. I love that my God is patient and faithful and never leaves my side, no matter how many times I think I can go it alone.
