I'm totally "Worn" out

"'Cause I'm worn, my prayers are wearing thin
and I'm worn, even before the day begins
I'm worn, I've lost my will to fight
I'm worn, Heaven come and flood my eyes."

Have you ever had one of those days, weeks, or months? Where you just feel so worn and tired and don't want to even think about getting out of the bed? I know I do.

 I enjoy volunteering, love my job, and come home to a great family that I cook and clean for, but I'm exhausted all the time. I'm treated with two iron pills and a B12 supplement for my energy level and a muscle relaxer for my spasms every day. I thought this medicine was enough to help me out, but when I woke up on Wednesday night to discover the family had left me sleeping on the couch instead of waking me for church, I began to think maybe I have too many irons in the fire.


Then, I was reminded today that I go to far, push to hard, and could be at risk for burning out at some point. My first thought was "What? I always go, go, go." But when I stopped and thought about it, I probably do way to much all the time.


Time to scale it back.

David sings in Psalm 127:2 "It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep."

And after hearing this song by Tenth Avenue North again on Air1, I realized I need to slow down and return my focus to the Lord because in Him I will find rest. 

Tomorrow is Saturday! This college kids are cooking breakfast at church and the rest of the day I get to spend hanging with my kiddos. I hope you all get to rest and relax and have a great weekend!
