Getting Rest!

Hey Ladies...dag, I feel like I haven't been on here in a while...finally got my computer back :-) Yea! One of the reasons being I've been too busy trying to get things together to start the school year...and I have been tired! I know many of ya'll feel me :-) Staying late at work or taking things home and then thinking about what you got to do the next day as you're laying in bed...this isn't what God wants for us...we need to come to him in prayer...he desires for us to be physically and emotionally rested so we can start the next day refreshed. I struggle with this because I worry about the days to come...I want to do a good job with things and for things to go well, but I also need to realize that my work is NOT my whole life...I am a child of God first, a wife, a daughter, sister, friend, etc...I like one of the scriptures...The balanced woman can laugh at the days to come; Proverbs 31:25 :-) So, yeah, I'ma try and be balanced :-) Also, a scripture my sister wrote down and gave to me has helped me too...I just have to remember it...is can be so easy to be distracted by the things of this world. Phil. 4:6-7: 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
