picture me {im}perfectly.without rest

it’s really easy for me to go
and go
and go
and to keep going
and not to stop
and intentionally rest.

because there’s always more to do.
always.

but i am realizing just how essential rest is.
and am forcing myself to rest.
because i need to.
i just can’t keep going at this pace.
my mind
and my body need to rest.
i must rest.

and once i get my stubborn self to rest,
i so love it and
am so blessed by it.

the sweet davi from
little band of brothers

has a fabulous post on
picturing her {im}perfectly
(and check back tomorrow
for more from davi!).

picture me {im}perfectly
is a weekly project to reveal
that we don’t have it all together.

i will post a
picture me {im}perfectly
blog post every wednesday
where you will be able to link up to your blog
revealing that:

you are not picture perfect,
your kids are not picture perfect,
your house is not picture perfect,
your crafts are not always picture perfect.

let’s
encourage,
inspire and
remind
other women
that none of us have it all together.

add my button to your blog post
and link up to your direct posting
and feel encouraged.

By the seventh day
God had finished the work he had been doing;
so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.
Genesis 2:2

2681. night jasmine smells in the car
2682. purple flowers raised up high
2683. a really good night’s sleep
2684. a cleaned off desk
2685. hearing a sermon on just what
B and i were talking about. again
