Take a time out!

Someone very dear to me reminded me today how important it is to refresh ourselves. As women we like to take all of the burden on ourselves. Whether we are a working or stay at home mommy. Whether we are single or married. Whether our children live at home or have already left the nest. We all have problems. We all have different stress so we all need to be rejuvenated by God. 

We have to take time out of our day to sit, relax and just do nothing sometimes. Or go get a pedicure. Or go to Starbucks with a new book. Or just go sit outside and look at the sky. Even if you only have 5 minutes. Remind yourself that you are fearfully and wonderfully made for God's purpose! He is the source of your strength!

We can only go go go so long without burning out. It's important to those we love that we refresh and come back to our life with a renewed sense of purpose and love. 

Take this following verse and write it down somewhere. Memorize it as I have and say it out loud whenever you feel yourself having a meltdown. I promise you, you will find rest in it. God's word never fails. 

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." -Matthew 11:28 NIV
