eternal rest
I'm in serious need of a Sabbath day!!! That day where we have eternal rest- where we are given a permission not to do anything. And the best thing out of that is EVERYONE has to do it! So it's a collective thing...
One thing that i realized prevents me to have a rest (personally) is the fact when i'm having a rest - some of my other friends are having "fun" they are doing their best to catch up with each other, knowing each other better. I know this is very childish of me - but i have to admit- i hate to be left out.
Anyway, i need rest- and if others don't i learn to be content and listen to what my body needs.
Another thing about having rest is the fact that- i still think about stuff when i'm resting. I don't really have rest because i know i still have Greek to study, books to read and things to clean or do, etc2. Though listening to music, reading books is a good activity for me to have a "rest" but sometimes it takes too much of your brain away. I when i read books- looks at the implication and how can i use it in my everyday life etc2. the list gets longer and longer and in the end i get more tired because of these things that i have to in the future.
I know that this is a SUPER random post.. but i truly need a rest... a rest where i can truly say that God is taking care of me, that i can say that God is doing His best to put things into place and now what i have to do is have a rest so that i can be of better use in the future. I want that kind of rest - not the one like the Buddhist do- meditating and freeing my mind of worries- but the kind of rest where i fully put my trust in God and Him alone. Where i can truly admit how weak I am and how i need Him every hour and minute and second. The rest where I can fully enjoy God and being with God.
Currently i'm thinking of a method to do that... Can't find one yet- but what my teacher does is he goes to the beach by himself once in a while just to listen to God and reflect how his ministry and life is doing at the moment... I might want to do that when i have the time... hopefully i will have the time
