Be Still

I have 500000 things I want to write about right now that God's given me to share...and I have zero time to do it so I'm frustrated about that right now.

The only thing I want to say.........is that I want to quit my job for a year, and travel around the country like a nomad. I've had this desire for a long time.....but today, for some reason as I was walking, this desire became even stronger. The only problem is, I don't have the 100k European sports car yet. I've bounced this idea off of a couple of people in the past, but no one has really shown anything other then a classic, YOU ARE WEIRD look.

OK back to reality......I have work in the morning. And I also have school loans, car payments, and credit card debt. So this obviously won't be happening.

Freddie, thanks for stoppin' by tonight and laughing and crying with me. I needed that bro.

I'm waiting for my weekend to start now. Why do I feel like I need to run myself down, and be everywhere and do everything and see everyone? Can't just admit that I'm tired, and I want to sit home and DO NOTHING? I'm beat and desperatly need some quiet time because I feel like my insides are about to explode. During my walk today, it was God, myself, and I. (OK and my cell phone in case if a wild animal tried tearing me to shreads) But I strongly felt Him saying....BE STILL, wait on me and be still.

Maybe it's this feeling of extreme exhaustion and pushing myself to the limits that is making me crave the nomadic life worse now then ever??

OK God...I WANT to be still.......but You need to show me how........I need your help.

I need sleep. I need rest. I need peace.
Just as I wrote this with tears in my eyes......He just whispered:

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Matthew 11:28-30

Amen!
