Is it bed time yet?

Have you ever been to kids camp as an adult? If you have, you know how I feel! Loved it......... kids jumping, singing, shouting with joy...... little hearts bending toward Jesus and light bulbs of understanding beginning to flicker and come alive! And....... holy guacamole am I tired! Dragging kids out of bed in the morning and begging them to shut up (not those exact words) and go to sleep at night..... "why are you not with a buddy", and "yes you have to bring your bible" have been trickling from my mouth in my sleep lately.

I need rest! Been there lately? Calgon, take me away! There are three forms of rest that will refresh the soul and keep me going. We all need all three on a regular basis. Deficiency in one area, even if the other areas are solid, causes a severe imbalance. These areas are: physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual. You knew that....... but do you do anything about it? Are you resting enough? Are you calming your mind and life enough? Are you talking with Jesus and enjoying peaceful conversation with him each day?

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” Matt. 11:28-30

I need rest, and most of it is found in Jesus. Lets get into His word this week and receive it! Do your SOAP devotions, and he will be everything we need. Like our theme from camp, lets "Take it in, and live it out"!

Peace
