Resting in the Journey

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls

Matthew 11:28-29


 

Rest... rest is supposed to be, well... restful, peaceful... But when "rest" is forced upon you, like when you break your femur and are forced to rest, it can be really frustrating and unrestful. I've been feeling sorry for myself the past few weeks. I'm in major pain, the pain medicine makes me loopy, and I'm bored & lonely. It's been difficult for me to concentrate enough to do the Faith Dare or blog.

I began wallowing in my very own pity party. I started to question... why me? why now? I had things that needed to be done. But I am learning to rest... I am learning to let others help me.

I saw the Doctor yesterday, and got the good news that my leg is healing. I was given 2 more weeks of "limited activity", 2 more weeks of rest. My goal for these next 2 weeks is to graciously rest.
