THANK YOU!!!
I am overwhelmed by those of you who read our blog for “help” with our golf tournament – and responded!
I’ll give more details of  how you’ve helped next week.  And I’ll be naming names (if you don’t mind.)  But I’m blown away by your willingness to help – each in your own unique way!  (It’s not too late to help should the Lord prompt you.)

From the bottom of my heart – THANK YOU! 

This past Thursday, I drove my daughter to Myrtle Beach for “Heather camp” for the week.  Heather is my sister and my children adore their family. 

So I spent one night with my sister and then drove to Holden Beach to meet the KGM team.  We had a great time.  All 8 of us spent a restful, bonding, sweet weekend together.

But for 4 days straight, I either missed my quiet time or it was way too brief.  One morning I woke up with a migraine. Another morning, I was too busy snuggling with my nephew in front of the TV as he woke up.  The other 2 mornings,  I was too busy visiting with the girls in my posse – probably distracting them– rather than reading my own Bible during that time. 

4 straight days of interrupted quiet time.

But here’s the victory…  There was NO guilt or condemnation.  I used to go into such condemnation when I missed my quiet time.  Looking back – I really believe it was because my quiet time was more duty or religion based… rather than relationship based.

This is growth for me.  And today I’m rejoicing!

So this morning – after having slept in my own bed last night (thank you Jesus!) – I got up… Made my coffee… and had the sweetest time with the Lord.  It was so good to be back.  So good to have my Bible back in my lap; my coffee in tow; in my comfy chair with my dog sleeping beside me.  And most importantly, listening to the Voice of the only ONE Who brings rest to my soul…

As much fun as I had with my dear sister, whom I adore and miss greatly.  And for the precious time I had with some of the most important women in my life…

NOTHING compares to time with Jesus each day. 

Truly, He and He alone provides rest for our weary souls.
