Just breathe...

To say that life has been a little stressful lately is an understatement. I can't go into a lot of details but it just seems that the past 2 weeks have been brutal. Things at school are wild and crazy right now due to our state-wide test that is coming up in 3 weeks. I was telling Sean the other night that I feel like I am being pulled in 15 directions and I just on the brink of falling apart. There are times when I don't feel like I have a minute to myself to just sit. Maybe it's normal, maybe it's just because this is a stressful time at school, maybe this is my new "reality" as a working mom. I don't know...I just know that I don't like it and I need a word from the Lord...

Matthew 11:28-30 28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Isaiah 40:29-31 29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Jeremiah 6:16a 16 This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.
