Unexpected Rest

Most of the time, I consider my schedule to be only marginally busy, however, lately I have been feeling like things are pretty crazy. My schedule hasn't changed a lot, it really is just the amount of things that I have been thinking about and through that has increased the time where my brain has to be engaged. Between church membership, completion of By-laws, reading Crazy Love for small group, going to a 2-day conference and just all the normal things of life, my mind is swimming with thoughts, ideas, conviction, etc.

Throughout all of these things, I have actually found rest via a torn tendon in my shoulder. My shoulder has been bothering me for about 14 months and I finally decided to get it checked out. Doing so has so far led to approximately 20 minutes in an MRI tube and today 15 minutes on a training table receiving electric stimulation for my shoulder. Who would have thought that both of those things would be so relaxing?

My mind has been on overload with all that I have been thinking, hearing, reading and preparing, which as forced me to go to the Word, where I have found true rest. I am learning more and more that Jesus is enough and He alone is my reward. I hope that you too can rest in that.
