Return, Rest, Repeat!

 

Good morning Friends!

There are so many emotions we are feeling during this time, right?

It’s been kind of shocking to me to sense the surge from full on joy and gratitude to panic and frustration. And everything in between.

I don’t know why I’m surprised. Emotions are a God given release to pressure around us. I guess we would all explode, or implode, without them.

And of course we’ve all learned by experience that emotions in and of themselves are not to control us or be the ultimate decision making factor for our lives.

So, as we embrace all the “feels” that come during these unprecedented times, we also recognize the beautiful privilege and invitation we have to bring them to the feet of Jesus.

Again – His Presence is the one place I can safely “throw up” in without fear of rejection, or being told I’m sho’nuff crazy. He listens to my raving heart and then quiets my soul with his love.

“For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, “In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.” Isaiah 30:15 ESV
‭‭

Breathe Him in deeply, friends.
Run to the secret place and let him shelter you too.

We are all “prone to wonder” but praise God that His invitation to return and rest is not a one and done thing. It’s a lifelong practice, initiated by the Spirit, to be enjoyed continually.

Return, rest, repeat.

My family and I are hunkered down too and we are praying for you and thanking God for the mutual encouragement we are blessed with by our forever family. Please let us know how we can pray specifically for you.

May your days be full of his glory and grace.

In His shelter,
Kim
