R and R

I've been learning a lot lately about what it means to take a breather. The Lord gives you jobs to do, but in order to not burn out, you have to take a breather and rest a little.

These past few weeks I've been resting have been full of many things. I felt the need to go to camp (I know, there isnt much sleep there) but the Lord put it on my heart I needed to be there, and so I went. It turns out that at the end of the week I was still well rested, and during the week, I learned a lot about the life of Paul in Philippians. I'm digging through that book right now and I'll tell you, its been so worth it! I've rested physically AND spiritually. I am being an RA (residence assistant) at school this year, and one of our duties is to spiritually mentor these students. You cannot feed someone if you arent being fed yourself. there needs to be an input as much as an output. I'm getting a HUGE input right now. the Lord has been pumping me full of His word, and I'm like a never ending sponge. I cannot ever get enough water, there is so much more that I want to soak in but I need to wait for the Lord to reveal it to me.

R and R is important not only for you physically, but also for you physically. Try it. He brings glory to Himself through it, and there is nothing better than Christ recieving ALL the glory!

For His Glory

Summer Time

Well. I havn't blogged in a long time - for those of you that read. sorry. Work is now officially done for me and it's time for summer! Work these past few months has been amazing! Doing a internship for what I want to do with my life was phenomenal. The Lord truly worked at the church in Barrie and it was amazing to see His hand in everything that was being done. He is blessing that ministry in many different ways and I was very excited to be a part of it!

All for HIS glory.
