Before I left Cedarville I compiled an exhaustive list of what I needed to accomplish over break. This includes lots of homework, shopping, planning a bridal shower, researching several things. I could probably fill everyday of break with things to do.
In spite of all of that...I am committed to having a restful break. Emotionally, physically, spiritually, mentally, I need refreshment. Even something as ordinary as reading a book "for fun" sounds simply delightful. Just being able to pick out a book and R-E-A-D...take my time, not worrying about having an exam over the material.
In this life, I think that we have to be so intentional about making time for resting. Carving out time in our busy schedules for "Sabbaths". My challenge for you is to take ten or fifteen minutes today to just rest. What would you do? Sit near a window and soak in the beauty of the earth? Take a bubble-bath? Bask in a silent moment to just collect your thoughts? Read a good book? Go puddle jumping? Dance to some funky music?
Take time...MAKE time.
Be refreshed!
