We just got back from a much needed vacation to Austin. It is always so wonderful to get away and rejuvenate my family and myself. I was definitely in need. It reminds me of the verse from the Bible.
"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."
Matthew 11:28-30
We spent the week with my sister and her family. We laughed a lot, talked a lot and just enjoyed being around one another. I also spent time by myself, which is a must for me. I need time to process things and spend time in God’s word. During this time alone, I really hear God speaking to me and telling me which way I am supposed to go. Things have been crazy lately in my family and I haven’t had any alone time to just be. I find I get very lost when things are too busy and I don’t make time for God and myself. Since I have gotten back from Austin I feel much more grounded and focused on what my purpose is and what God wants from me.
