A month ago I was feeling so overwhelmed. My mouth has a hard time saying ‘no’ to things-something that my body doesn’t much like about my mouth. It got to the point that I knew I needed to make a change. I was especially feeling convicted because through the Bible and people in my life, I knew that God required us to trust Him and REST! So Brendan and I decided that we would manage our time better by planning times for rest. It’s never something I usually plan for unless we have a vacation, but it’s come to my attention that if I don’t plan rest, I’ll inevitably find something to work on or something to schedule.
Ever since we started this little “project” I’m feeling a lot more rested and less stressed about things. I felt that scheduling a day or two of rest would really put me behind in work, but since God has commanded us to rest, He has also been faithful in providing help in every situation just like He said he would.
Our first little planned day was in June. Brendan and I drove to Saint Augustine for the day. It was so much fun. We walked the streets and explored all the one-of-a-kind stores, read about the history and saw a canon go off, and we ate dinner at a restaurant that looked like a house with a huuuuge open deck right on the creek. Here’s a little taste of the trip-
July 1st was Brendan and my five year anniversary! It’s so hard to believe that it’s been five years, time is flying! I’m so happy to be married to Brendan! He just brought me some strawberries and Nutella for breakfast :) that’s what a great guy he is. My favorite thing, is that he is honestly my best friend. I love just hanging out with him, just chillin’ at the house. He makes me laugh so much and I truly believe that he’s the funniest at home when it’s just to two of us. Another thing I love about him is how he is always willing to change and work on things. He isn’t all “this is me so deal with it!” He always wants to be better.
