Five Minute Friday: Rest

It is really hard to know where to begin to write...I have slacked in my blogging. Honestly, I have even considered shutting the whole thing down and deleting it. But obviously here I am writing again. The past few weeks have been busy. I feel like life has been going non-stop since I started school.
I love my job and ministry, but am so thankful for the relazing and RESTFUL weekends. I have gotten into the habit of seeing what the Five Minute Friday topic is about--think about what to write and then if and when I have a chance write it out. I even started just reading the title and then reading Lisa-Jo's posts after writing my own.When I thought of the word rest I thought of the verse in Matthew 11:28 , "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." This verse can be applicable in so many ways. But, for some reason I think of it as a heavy burden upon one's shoulders. When one has a burden in can wear the person out--sometime the lack of sleep, the tears, and whatnot. But once one lays those burdens at Christ's feet HE will give rest---IT ONLY COMES FROM CHRIST. I am unable to go though a difficulty on my own---God helps me. I know at times when I have so much on my mind and heart I tend not to sleep well at all--but once I begin praying and give it to the Lord I am able to calm my heart and sleep--wonderfyl isn't it to be able to lay your burdens at Christ's feet.
