Hello, my life has been full (my happier word for “busy) since we got home from California. I miss my blog, I miss writing, but I am just so darn busy…..excuse me… “full”, and without space to create. But I figuring out how to change that. In fact, I wanted to put a quote I found from Alicia Britt Chole for the blog today. This is really good. Really, really good:
In our culture we view rest as a reward for faithfulness. We plan on resting after the project is complete, after we get that promotion, after that busy season, after we retire, or after...we die?!
However, as I study rest in the bible, it seems that more than a reward for faithfulness, rest is a prerequisite for fruitfulness.
Now some may challenge that and say, "But, in the Creation account, God worked for six days and then rested on the seventh."
True.
But what was God doing before Day One?

Lots and lots of planning
