It’s a little after 8pm and I’m already in bed. I’m wiped out,  in a good way; Blake’s final soccer season,  our church’s college ministry,  our ministry on campus at the local community college (I got to speak last night),  and of course a full time job that I am extremely thankful for –  this is a busy time.

I’ve always had a healthy sense of guilt.  Unhealthy,  actually. But I’m learning the spiritual value of setting aside time to do absolutely nothing,  on those rare evenings or weekends when I have nothing planned. And to not feel guilty for it, but rather to allow myself to be blessed by it. God is so good.

Selah.

Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

– Psalm 116:7 ESV
