Day 36

Rest...my thoughts are with God and praying but my body is tired so I went so sleep early for me, 10 pm. Typically I write this blog in the evening so I can reflect on my day and what the Lord has shown me. Last night I needed rest. I tend to push against rest and stay up as long as I can getting stuff done and relaxing. I've always been a night owl and was able to come home and nap if I didn't get enough sleep the night before. But somehow after Raina was born naps became really hard for me. Sometimes I do unwind and still nap but not often.

I really need to work on finding physical rest right now. My soul is finding rest in God but my body needs literal, physical rest. Rest replenishes my body and refuels my soul.

Today's Reflection: Thank You Lord for letting me know when I need rest. Help me remember to replenish my physical and emotional strength by getting enough sleep. It was wonderful to go to bed last night and wake up after 7 1/2 hours of sleep rather than the average 6. Help me do this more often.
