God loves me enough to......

Despite the amount we try to slow down, try not do too much, try to carry on all the responsibilities we place on ourselves, try to do this, that, and the other…… as we try, God says “I will.”

I have always had a hard time slowing down. I’m not sure why it is. I always thought it meant that I, or worse off, others would see me as lazy. I didn’t want to be the lazy person God talked about in the bible. I always wanted to do my best, for things to get accomplished, for things to happen. With the many things that are different this year, I knew I would have to monitor my ME time, do better at trying to slow down, and sit when God was telling me to sit, letting Him soak up all my business. It’s been hard to purposely, intentionally slow down when I feel like my time would be better spent doing ____________ (fill in the blank), but I’m honestly trying to work on it.

God loves me enough to help me work on it. God loves me enough to make sure I am getting some Me and Him time. God loves me enough to confine me to my small (but my very own) house. God loves me enough to allow me the pleasure of time alone. God loves me enough to have the internet down at my house so I am not on the computer 24/7. God loves me enough to let me work with amazing people who will pick up where I left off. God loves me enough to give me a kidney and bladder infection, laying me up for days.
