TAKE TIME TO REST

Honestly life isn’t always perfect. Sometimes I feel like everyone else around me is getting to go off and do these amazing incredible things. They have opportunities to grow and experience life. Or some big change is happening to them.... etc.

And I begin to feel discontented with where I am in life.

Right now I have no plans.. I’m not planning any crazy trips anywhere or starting collage or even having a cool job... LOL (I 

work as a part time secretary) 

But here's the thing i became so caught up in feeling sorry for myself that I forgot all the incredible things that surround my day to day life. I forgot to rest. 

• 1)Rest that It’s all going to work out. That life never the same for long. So enjoy the season that God has you in rn 

• 2)Something is always changing and later you’ll look back and think “wow those were good days” 

So I’ve been trying to appreciate the little moments in life—Holding my baby sister. music and long car rides. Sunsets. Binge watching The Office. Laughing with my brother... long phone calls with my bestie.. FaceTiming with cousins..  

life doesn’t always have to be full of excitement and new things to be beautiful. Every. Day. Is. A. New. Adventure.  A blank page waiting to be written on. i mean how awesome and cool is that!!! Words. Conversations. Relationships. You can’t go about life waiting for the “fun times” to come. because of you do that you end up missing so many fantastic things.

SO HOW ARE YOU ALL?

IN A SENTENCE, WHAT DOES REST MEAN TO YOU? 

ps. honestly this was a major struggle for me.. and still is sometimes. but my happiness and value  is not found in the high times of life. its the day to day pleasures that bring the most  joy
