My goal this summer is to spend time with my own head and stop running from it. I have nothing on my calendar for next week and it kills me but I know it will be good for me. I am ready to stop running and start focusing on God, my purpose, my husband, and my kids hearts (not their abilities). I am ready to get stop worrying about me and start living in reality. My reality is so amazing that when I live in it, I wonder why I ever choose to go back to the worrying.
If I am always on the go then I am always running from my thoughts and I am unable to hear God's small voice saying, "Stop it, sit down, and be at peace with me." I hear it today and I am planning on hearing it tomorrow too.
Matthew 11:28-30 has been on my fridge for a while and I am just now starting to really take it in.
"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."

LOVE this Mary! I am such a thinker...er,um over-thinker if I am honest and if I don't have time to settle down I go crazy too. The thoughts don't stop, I just have no time to process and pray and that's when Satan starts turning them into lies. Love your honesty!
that is my all time favorite verse! I have it written down everywhere...such amazing truth!
that's my all time favorite verse! whenever i get ahead of myself and need to get back to the basics of life and God i always think of this verse. It's such a great promise!
