You need rest.

"I know you often grow weary. I hear your heartfelt cry for more energy to make it through each day. You, My tired princess, must trust Me with all your many worries and responsibilities. Rest when I tell you to. I am your heavenly Father, and I know what My girl needs. So listen to the One who loves you the most and knows all about you. I want you to take a step of faith by setting aside a day each week to rest from all your work. If you will obey Me in this, I will multiply your time and supernaturally energize your efforts to get everything done in the following days. Welcome this opportunity to give your mind, body, and spirit a rest. Consider it My love gift to you, and relax in Me!

Love,
Your King and your Resting Place."

Then Jesus said, "Come to Me all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)
I read this today...and needed to hear it. Maybe you do too.

Weird...I just read that book this morning for my devos and was going to post one of them on my blog. I haven't picked it up in a while and of course the one I read was exactly what I needed to hear. Well...you know we're best friends! :)
And thanks for this reminder. I love you and can't wait until we can rest together on break! :)
