Rest for the Weary

I shared with a few of you that I was overwhelmed with my schedule and very much believed I would be exhausted until the middle of next week..... and I know that some of you prayed that God would slow me down a bit, help me prioritize and say no to things... well, God is just so funny, because I've been in bed hella sick since Tuesday. Like, I want to die. Everything has been canceled from Disneyland trips, to Angels games, to work, to the Vegas weekend trip for a Bachelorette party.... so you know... my schedule has been dumped and I have been sleeping a lot...

I didn't tell Darin that I would be missing Saturday's round-table session because I didn't want to be out of town this weekend and welp, now I will be in town.

Anyways, if you could please pray for healing that would be awesome. I have felt lighter & happier since deciding to for sure not go to Vegas (which I have never been to before & was a little worried about). And I did see the doctor & am currently on antibiotics. 

The sun is out & its Friday. I don't want to be in bed anymore. Thanks for reading :) 

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

  1. girly girly girly. I am praying for you! and yes, God is just so funny. He did the same to me with a ridiculous schedule a few years ago. He put me in the hospital and I couldn't walk for 2.5 months because I was so week. I totally understand! but you know, I am so glad you see what He just might be showing you. : ) that helps the recovery process (of your schedule... back to normal, and not overload) quite a bit. Sleep is also when the body heals itself the most, so keep on sleeping. : )

  3. I am so glad that you are feeling better! God has slowed me down in situations like yours too! Maybe we can plan a dinner date soon?

  4. I know this is late, but it was good to see you on Friday. It was funny to see you watch us go off on a tangent about chopping down trees and selling the wood for money. Hope you enjoyed that dinner!

  5. I'm so glad you're feeling better! And Disneyland will always be there :) so no rush! Corinne, I've been praying for you this week, I've been praying that God would bring you peace and that he would use you to speak to others. I hope that these things have come to pass! Even if you feel like your conversations were not fruitful or as fulfilling as you'd hope, I know that you are such a loyal woman of God and that you no doubt brought glory to our Father in your actions. So be proud of that! All we can do is speak truth and show love, and hope that God will soften the hearts of those around us.

  6. plus with stories that I tell Vegas isn't any fun anyways... :) Definitely praying for you and your sickness and of course always healing. God totally told me a joke this last week and so I have shared in a similar circumstance. What do ya know. He can be so good sometimes. While we usually do not understand why things like us getting sick happen. What if we had not been sick and done all those things and had found ourselves in sin the whole weekend. And so in the long run we were saved, yet we would never have understood such grace. Hope you are no longer sick. As this is a bit late but the Angels are not a good team anyways... :) Oh! and we should all totally go to Disneyland as a Circles crew. That'd be rad. Just a thought.
