It’s the rest of the week. What feels particularly wearying for you right now?
Don’t give up. Keep choosing rest. The ups and downs will always be part of the process and almost always growth spurts will be preceded by times of great challenge.
The moments when rest is elusive and seemingly impossible to embrace will give way to times of refreshing—as surely as the dawn follows the darkest of night.
This is true.
Don’t give up.
Persist.
Consider the time it takes for a little seedling to grow—likely in spurts and with setbacks during drought, unusually cold weather, and surrounding construction. Yet, over time, a tree reaches up into the sky and cracks open the sidewalk with one particularly persistent root.
May you rest and may your rest be sweet.

I don’t always get to read your posts. But when I do, I am always blessed! Have a restful Sabbath. Love, the Other Alicia
I’ve been asking God for a little clue about whether we are to do a particular project or not. And then I read this. I re-read it and it mentions construction. God is this your answer to my question? It sounds like the answer I want but is it YOUR answer???
