Sabbath Rest

I've never been good at resting, and if you've been following this blog for very long, you're sure to know I've been in a perpetual state of exhaustion for six months. There've been different levels of exhausted and different facets - physical, emotional, mental, spiritual. I do my best to be honest as I express that here so you can follow along and pray with me for rest and other recovery. I've realized though, in this last month out of REHAB, that I need a rest from this constant exposure. It's a whole different kind of exhaustion to have people constantly watching me through the wonder of the internet. 

I've never made promises of how frequently I would update here, but I'm making my first promise that I will NOT post for the next week. Please pray with me that I will be present where I am as I prepare my body, mind, and soul for the upcoming school year.

    Love you and I'll be praying for your requests. I certainly understand where your energy must go at this time of year. Will look forward to hearing from you when you feel up to it. Look how far you've come!

    Laura, you don't need to supply us with a weekly update on your blog....not even a monthly update. Just give us a short sentence of what you need prayer for if there's anything different from what you've already shared. Most missionaries have a difficult time posting a monthly blog and they don't have the health issues you have to overcome. We love you and pray daily that the Great Physician will lay His healing hands upon you and restore you back to health. Blessings to you!! Ahna's aunt, Linda Durieux-Kleckner :-)
