Lazy Days

Today was a lazy day. You know, the kind that begins with waffles for breakfast at 11 and slowly passes by with hours spent in front of the T.V. and come dinnertime, you’re still in your pajamas. My dog Samson knows the feeling, and that’s why he’s my featured picture for week 6 of my 52 Week Project.

52 Week Project 2012 ~ 6/52

After a long week of feeling buried under school work—all the reading, writing, and studying—I really just needed a lazy day. Granted, I did some homework because I had to do something, but most of the day I spent resting.

There’s always going to be something to do. The past two weeks have been evidence of that fact. The start of the semester always teaches me a lot, not just about school, but life. My life lesson for this week, the blessing in disguise, underneath the mountain of homework rising before me, is that sometimes I just need to rest. We all need to rest. Recharge. Quiet our Hearts amidst our Busy schedules and never-ending To-do lists. And Just Stop for a minute. Breathe In. Breathe Out. Let go, and Let God.

Take some time now to do just that…since this post is shorter than normal, you’ve got some extra time to spare. Have some quiet time to yourself and focus on what’s really important. Or if you’d like, take a listen to this song by Chris Tomlin. It has quieted my heart many mornings this past week.

Remember...It’s not laziness. It's not bad. It's good. And it’s called rest. It's meant to be enjoyed.
