In spite of my dreary entrance into 2010, with the Lord as my strength, I have resolved to do some things differently... so...
This year, I am going to play more with my children- without an agenda...
This year, I am going to seek the Lord each day- especially those days that are chock full of activity...
This year, I am not going to feel guilty over my failures, but will give them over to the One who can Heal all those broken pieces...
This year, I am going to read the Bible with the intention of knowing Him more intimately, not just to add to my personal "Christian to-do list"...
This year, I am going to seek the Lord in being a better wife in a couple of areas in which I am failing...
This year, I am going to take better care of myself spiritually, physically, and emotionally... and finally...
This year, I am going to learn to rest in the Lord...
An Old-Fashioned Christmas

I have noticed this theme with a lot of FBC people. Looking for Rest in Jesus.
ReplyDeleteI have found it terribly difficult in this hasty world to rest in Him... quite honestly I didn't really even know what that meant exactly... but in this last year there were a few times when He laid on my weary heart that that is what I needed the most... so I did... I found that I could quiet my heart and rest in Him even with life happening around me... He ministered to me greatly, and re-energized me for the days I had ahead... I just need to be so in tune w/ Him that I take that rest regularly... Maybe PM should have a class on that...
ReplyDeleteOh, I would say that back in October/November I was really challenged by God to just plain trust/believe him. I mean I believe in him and I KNOW that he is my savior. I mean I had tried to do the Believing God study when WOW first offered it in 2005 and got about half way through but I didn't see the importance of finishing a Bible study back then.
ReplyDeleteSo God really challenge me to ask Bridget for the study for summer. Not because I didn’t finish it the first time through but to go through it again with fresh eyes. The funny part was he wants me to not only do the study but lead it with a small group. God knows that I will work really hard to get the study done if I'm in a leadership position, you know lead by example.
Back to your post… I don’t think I really know what resting in the LORD looks like and maybe that is why God is asking me to first trust/believe him. So that I can rest in him.
