So glad He is smarter than we are and He calls us to Come Away with Him for Rest and Refreshing --even if/when we don't think we need it!

But this side of it, I feel refreshed and can't wait for my "down-time." Reading this post took me back to a scene in The Shack where the main character's responsibility was just to "hang-out" with Jesus, and the rest portrayed in that scene is a vivid reminder to me. Your words are always so rich Karrilee! Hope you are feeling so much better!

And, while I don't understand everything He is doing, I do know that He is not still, and He is working in these hidden places. I just heard that song, "Velveteen" this week, and it's been on repeat here! I love it! Thank you for sharing from your heart. I have been keeping you in my prayers!BettieGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184677704960428160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-48861839291031776332018-03-14T17:12:49.290-07:002018-03-14T17:12:49.290-07:00LOL! of COURSE I still love you!

We leaned in and prayed and we laid down what we could and let go what was necessary and yet -the season of surviving day by day went on. I am happy to report that it seems we are on the other side of it and we have learned and yielded! And you can scold me anytime you think I may need it! I seem to know Truth and still forget it every once in awhile! xoxo~Karrilee~ from Abiding Love, Abounding Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698176066735604032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-5106563535311460642018-03-14T09:51:22.070-07:002018-03-14T09:51:22.070-07:00Can I scold you just a little? For the past year: ...Can I scold you just a little? For the past year: new church, new leadership, death in family, Dad not well, new baby, new relationships, and then I could put those on repeat. YOU KNOW how you are wired Ms K...and suddenly you thought you could defy that wiring and go be superwoman. The One who wired you, your Beloved, put out a few Yield signs...but then He had to put up a great big STOP sign. It is my hope and prayer you have yielded, stopped, and learned. And, I hope you still love me for saying this. xoSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14364430951695372897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-69552325651449052712018-03-14T07:54:16.572-07:002018-03-14T07:54:16.572-07:00It's amazing how often we need to be reminded ...It's amazing how often we need to be reminded of Truths that we know, isn't it?

Why does it feel so like defeat - even when we know better than to think that way? Last year I ran myself into a brick wall. Physically, mentally, emotionally. All the going - all the planning, organizing, and creating - and all the pouring out. I knew I needed a break and eventually I took one but I had NO IDEA how much I needed it! When I stopped in December, the adrenaline just stopped and stopped hard. I'm still recovering. I have to be so intentional about not planning too much. There's just so much good stuff to be done! Right? And then there's this false guilt that seems to hang around when I say "no" to things I know I could do to help. Argh! But I feel the limits and I'm trying to be obedient. Thanks so much, friend, for this reminder and for letting me know that I'm not alone in this struggle right now! Praying for your eyes to continue to heal and for you to embrace the "new" ♥<br /><br />Hugs,<br />LoriLori Schumakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03146372328978894133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-65838460660600583502018-03-10T18:36:07.712-08:002018-03-10T18:36:07.712-08:00Me, too!
