I was waiting to hear how my daughter's surgery went when two nurses came out to tell me the doctor would like to see me in the family room. The look on their face said it all. When I asked how she was doing they told me her blood pressure was dangerously low and her lungs had been punctured. They needed permission to do another procedure. The doctor told me and had told Sarah that they were doing all they could. I hit the floor wailing and praying. We would be in the hospital for five days - supposed to have been out patient - and have one more scare.
When I finally got home I was numb. I had been in momma mode and done what I had to do. I had held it together but I felt like I would bust. This was too much. I had so many feelings to sort. There was no way I could write so my next post said: "Matthew 11: 28-30, "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.” God brought this verse to mind today. I am tired and weary and I need to take this week to rest in my Father's arms. Will be back next Monday."
No matter our reasoning for our weariness, Jesus' promise is simple! "Come to me and I will give you rest." He doesn't tell me how or when He will do anything, He wants me to trust Him. He will keep His promise in the best way at the best time. 1 Peter 5: 7, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." He wants me to hand my burdens over and then He wants me to trust Him, without trying to understand. Proverbs 3: 5, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;"
Sometimes I am weary and burdened by little things and I should rest in my Father's arms. That is the one place we are promised rest!
