Slumber Bells


So recently I wrote a post on how Iโ€™m taking it easy in December to rest, regain focus, and get grounded in God again..which that is a constant. As Iโ€™m resting Iโ€™m feeling the fog lifting from my very worn out head and Iโ€™m starting to see things clearer than before. Who would have thought..rest resolves the mess. Not only that my heart and happiness has grown. Iโ€™m no longer worried about being on social media and Iโ€™m posting for fun. Donโ€™t get me wrong I swing back and forth sometimes multiple times a day but Iโ€™m thinking so much clearer. I also am placing my heart on the right places and I discovered that those places are with my family, God, and my intentional rest time. Plus my 2nd born just recently turned 11months so Iโ€™m processing that too. But Iโ€™m teaching myself that itโ€™s OKAY to rest, read, step away and to not always focus on the mess of the house. My illustrator even gave some great advice โ€œ sit down and drink the tea when you can. You will always be chasing after the chores and more.โ€ Ehem I also paraphrased that cause I canโ€™t remember if that was the exact words. I also found out from another acquaintance who hears very well from the Lord that God is a God of rest. He rested on the 7th day, not because he was tired, but because that is apart of his nature and character. He is a God of rest. Therefore, we should abide with him in rest and know that He is still working while we are resting. Iโ€™m realizing a lot in just the short week of stepping back. Yes, I still want to do certain things but Iโ€™m realizing those things can wait and I donโ€™t have to panic when things donโ€™t happen right now. I am excited to see how this restful month for me will turn out. So far I feel more happy and joyful. What do you do for rest?

Comfy clothes are life…so is my hat..my instas full of my hat.

    To answer the question at the end, I’ve been using this foot spa that I got for my birthday ๐Ÿ˜ I soak my feet for about 20 minutes and read Proverbs.

    Great Post. I think it’s important that we all rest after this unusual year. We must take a step back and think about what is really important and where our focus needs to be. By the way, your pictures are beautiful. God Bless
