My days this past week seemed to blur together. Where did the time go? What have I been doing during the last 168 hours? (Make that 169 hours since daylight savings time ended today.)
When I have weeks like this one, I realize that I took on too much. But I've got to keep going: people are depending on me, things are piling up, I'm falling behind, the laundry isn't finished, the house needs cleaning, I've got major projects waiting at work, I need to finish all of the home projects I've begun. What should I do?
Mark 6:30-32 The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”. So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place.
Now this is the point where I tend to stumble. I see so much to be done, but Jesus is telling me, "come with me to a quiet place and get some rest." I'm thinking, ok I just need a little rest. But that's not what it says. It says to go with Jesus to a quiet place and get some rest. Perhaps that is the key to finding rest, because burning the candle at both ends just turns into a great big waxy mess!
