Rest for the Weary

"Come unto Me all who are weary and heavy-laden and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28) REST - that's exactly what I feel like I need right now. Just the thought of sitting at Christ's feet, and finding renewal in HIS Presence fills me with peace and joy. These past few weeks have been busy ones. There is still much to do; but, I feel like the juggling and balancing is becoming more manageable. I think the busiest time has passed. I took care of property taxes and insurance. My friends who stayed for two weeks have moved onto the next place. The visit with my other missionary friend was actually very pleasant and interesting; and so, was the time spent with the people from my class on Sunday. It is interesting to see that with the friend who is staying with me now, she actually provides encouragement and "fills my tanks"; because, we know and can relate to each other so well. It is just comfortable to have her here, and it does not feel like any extra work. It is good to know that it isn't that I have become too introverted, but, that it depends on the person that I spend time with. There are those who encourage and fill me with joy to spend time with; and there are others who just take away time and energy. This is why it is important to choose our friends wisely. And, I would just need to know to prepare myself when energy is required in providing help to those who need it; but, also to recognize what my limits are. That is the wisdom of balance.
