Spirital Rest

Have you ever felt like you were wondering aimlessly through the Desert!!?? Boy, I have, in fact, I'm there right now! There is so much going on right now, I'm not sleeping well, someday dealing with Makenna is exhausting, my husband is alway out of town and I'm just tired. I think as a mother we all get tired, there is no rest. I often feel that I want to through my arms in the air and say, "God, just give me a break" Then I have to step back and try and look at the big picture....what is God trying to show me? Am I being faithful to him to praying and reading my bible. God is always there for me, am I there for Him, living for Him?! I feel that I'm trying but am I trying hard enough?
This weekend I'm going to take time and reflect on all the blessing that I have been given. I plan on having some one on one time with God while out hiking. Praying and talking out loud to God. I need...Spirital Rest. I'm so looking foward to this weekend with my family, spending time outside and watching all of God's beauty that surrounds us.

As I was writing this blog, I was reminded of a song by Mark Schulz, called "40 Days" This song is life!

Lord, I came to the mountaintop
To be with You
I felt Your grace falling down like rain
And I was made new

But there are times like now when I'm all dried out

(Chorus)
And it's like 40 days out in the desert
Feeling like I'm lost forever
And crying out for You
But in these 40 days I'm going to seek You
With my heart because I believe You
Have brought me to this place
These 40 days

Lord, Your ways are not my own
But I trust You
Lord, You say, "You are not alone,
For I am with you"

But there are times like now when You can't be found

(Chorus)

'Cause You are with me
You never leave me
Even when my world turns upside down
'Cause there are times like now when I will
Trust somehow
