It’s been such a fabulous 4 months … I should have written a post but frankly I just have been enjoying myself so much that the time has slipped away. For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about here’s the jist of it. I left my job at Sports Warehouse in November, just in time to celebrate the one year mark of my brain surgery. Josh, the killer man that he is, and I decided that I needed a break from all manners of work to rest and figure out what God has next for me.
So 2017 is my year to do just that and I’m off to a great start! In January my mom moved to Texas, handing down her upholstery business to me. It’s been great, not too much work and I’m having so much fun. Josh was worried that acquiring a new business is the opposite of rest, but really it has been a breath of fresh air. I’m also working on a new project … a book! It’s so weird to say that, but I guess I need to say it louder until it doesn’t feel weird anymore.
It’s a project about weariness and how God can use it for good. It is the inside look at my life and brain surgery and how rest is found in the baby graces all around us. I’m getting ready to attend a writer’s conference in April, ready to learn all I can. I can’t wait to see what God will do with it.
With writing every day and walking along the beach and seeing God goodness all over the place I’ve been so busy resting. I didn’t expect to be so exhausted, I guess rest is not about doing less but doing more in your deep places. It’s been amazing!
You all have been such a huge support to me and I thank you so much!
