Rest

Growing up in the church and as an adult, I always heard to "hide" God's word in your heart.  I did not grow up memorizing Bible verses.  But I read a lot.  I wish I could tell you the exact place to find a certain verse in the Bible.  It sure would make things easier for me...and easier when having a discussion with someone.

Even though, I may not be able to recall the book and verse number, I can recall the passage.  Which, in the end, I think is the most important.  THAT is what is hidden in my heart.

I am very thankful for those verses coming to mind when I need them most.  It is like a big hug from heaven.

I am tired...physically, emotionally, and mentally.  I need rest.  While rocking a squirrmy baby who was up way past her bedtime, I was on the verge of emotional collapse....until I got my hug.

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.”  Matthew 11: 28-30
