So I am loving so far just resting this spring break from things back at school. Yes, I have projects and papers that need to be worked on some to make the week that I come back less stressful, but I still get to be at home not having to get up early for classes. It is great catching up on sleep especially :)
Today, I read in Exodus (I'm reading through the bible in a year) and in chapter 16 verse 30 it says the people rested on the seventh day. I was reminded of Matthew11:28 which says "Come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest"). This is comforting to me now because as much as I love it at school of course, it can sometimes be tiresome in all that is expected to be done. I will be keeping this verse in mind when I go back to everything and remember that God is there and restores us each day.
After repenting to God last week at small group some things that have been in my heart, I also realized how much I was looking forward to a break so that I could really rest and be restored from these things I repented.
~Also it was no coincidence that this psalm of the day popped up on my blog before writing this- "The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside still waters, he restores my soul."(Psalm 23)
