A MUCH NEEDED VISIT AND A MUCH NEED MESSAGE....................

i just love the way God brings life into your old tired bones just when you think that you can't go on anymore.

what an awesome weekend it was. i truly felt rested when the weekend was over. the weekend got off to a great start when kelly and greg passed through here on their way back home. what a great time we had. it is so wonderful to see familiar faces in a new strange land. kelly and i went shopping most of the day saturday. it was so nice to hug and love on a dear sweet friend. i really enjoyed reconnecting again. her hugs and words and laughs were therapy for me.

greg and david just stayed home and watched college football all day. i know they both needed it. david goes so much, he enjoys just staying at home.

we ate great mexican food on friday night. there is nothing better than driving into your driveway only to find friends sitting on your bench outside your door.

on sunday morning they got ready to leave and we got ready for church.

the message on sunday was bracy's ( that is our new pastor) best so far. the message was to just come to Jesus and REST. how i needed to hear this. just REST. when i hear rest, think of just vegging out. bracy point out that it also means to surrender. wow. all you who are weary and heavy laden. i just played these words over in my head and heart over and over all sunday. JUST REST.

JUST REST.

JUST REST.

so Jesus, i surrender it all to You. i choose to rest in You. take all my new school worries and do what You will.

i just want to rest.
