I slept 11 hours last night. About a week ago, in prayer, God told me I needed to rest more than anything.
This has been a crazy busy year.
I’ve been “working” on resting–one night, however, I pretty much stayed up all night–and giving myself plenty of breaks.
I don’t have much on the calendar the rest of the year–just family, Thanksgiving, Christmas–but have limited myself to only 2 social events during the week so I can rest, but also do the “writing business” chores I have.
That includes a fiction proposal.
(I could use some beta readers if anyone is interested.)
My husband has been pointing out that “rest is a weapon” for military folks engaged in battle.
All of us these days are in a ierce spiritual battle–in whatever sphere God places us.
So, if you need an “excuse” to rest–tell yourself you’re just stepping out of the battle in preparation for whatever God brings your way next. 🙂

Prayer for all the grocery store workers, and other industry staff, like travel industry, who are under great stress for the holiday rush.

Thanks Janice, a little bit of a couple things – needed break but also a Covid lethargy that has kept me out of week until a couple days ago.
