This week the song of my life…It has been a gasping. A sound like drowning. This, trying to keep my
head above water. This, “I can’t breathe.” It’s all too much.
For two weeks actually. Husband working crazy hours. One car. Busy work. Took on one too many projects. Trying to eat
healthy, live intentionally, be in community. Learning all over again that I can’t
do it all. And I just want to breathe.
Remembering that I need more margin than most. That I need
rest. Quiet. Peace. Stillness. Just trying to get through the next 36 hours for
…
Bliss. Sabbath. Renewal. Warm cup of coffee on Sunday
morning couch. Lazy blog reading. Basset Hound snuggling. Longing for the song
of my life to once again be…
Jesus first. To worship Him with my time and not with filling
it. Not bringing busyness to His altar but bringing me. Finding Him first in
the morning and letting His time table shape my day. Here’s to living a life of
breathing. A song that's without gasping as its melody. Here’s to feeling fully
alive.
Doesn't life just get too busy these days? We need more simple, more calm, more time for Him.
ReplyDeleteI like your post, and I can completely agree and relate to it. Thank you for the reminder.
So true, Jodi. Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteSorry life's been swallowing you up! It's a good thing you see your need for rest and quiet instead of keeping on pushing through. We all have those days, weeks, months sometimes. Happy Sabbath!

Thank you, Christy.
DeleteHere's to coffee on Sunday mornings!
ReplyDeleteI second that, Anna :)
ReplyDeleteOhhh, that, too, is what I'm in need of. Perhaps it can happen during the kids' naptime today? One can only hope. :)
ReplyDeleteGabrielle, praying you get your solace during nap time today :)
DeleteLoving these Five Minute Friday posts. Packing a big spiritual punch and speaking right to me :-)
