Rest

I was off work today because I work Saturday.

I'll be working every 4th Saturday or so, and when I do I'll get a day off during the week.

I'm thinking I am going to like this.

Well, I'll at least like it on that day off - maybe not so much when I have to get up on Saturday morning to go to work.

I spent this morning getting a new drivers license, taking my car to get an emissions test, and going to the county clerk's office for my car title and tag.

I wanted to put it off and not spend my day off running around.

Now I'm glad it's all done.

I'm official.

I could totally start getting ready for the Miss Tennessee pageant now.

After lunch with Emily, I decided to take advantage of this unusually cooler weather we're having here in Memphis today.

I have not spent any time on our balcony yet, so this afternoon I took my book and Diet Coke out there and chelaxed.

New Peter Pezzelli book. One of my favorite authors.

Firehouse Subs was yummy.

I'm thankful for time to rest during this overwhelming time of life.

A few Sundays before I left Starkville, J.D. Shaw at Adaton Baptist Church gave a message on work.

He said that as Christians we should never work as if we have to work.

We should work for the joy of it.

Can we really even fathom that??

Working for the joy of working and not because we know it will support our needs/wants or get us to that next stage in life?

In order to enjoy work and bring glory to God we have to look at how we can serve others through our work and also figure out our own gifts and how they fit into our jobs.

The most important thing to remember in our work is to look to the cross.

Rest in the knowledge that Jesus finished the only work that will ever really matter.

The biggest problem is taken care of.

Rest in Jesus' work.

love and miss
