the week {more like year} that flew by

{ shirt/clutch: F21; pants: Gap; glasses: Nordstrom; wedges: Target }

{Just ignore the baggy eyes would ya?}


I have no idea where this week went. Frankly, I have no idea where this year went.

I'm sitting in front of my computer, trying really hard not to fall asleep, because I really need to get things done. Why do I always have stuff to get done?I just want a break. It seems like I haven't had a single moment this week to just stop and be. I just want to be. I never allow myself to rest, and I think the Lord is not so subtly telling me I need to slow this band wagon down and just be for a little while. This going 100 miles a minute thing isn't all it's cracked up to be. I know I'm such a doer, planner, and always say "yes" person... but that's not always a good thing. It starts to catch up with ya. Even if it's a lot of good things, too many good things can turn into a bad thing. I'm starting to figure out that my random moments of tears and mental breakdowns aren't necessarily a healthy thing. So, with that said, I'm spending a few hours this weekend to just be. I'm taking Matthew 11 v. 28 up on it's promise. You should try it. Give yourself a break would ya.

“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.”

Matthew 11 v. 28

  2. oh molly... great thoughts. i'm the same way, but i've learned to say no. and you know what? for a constant, "yesser", it's not so bad. especially when you're getting a teensy weensy break in all the madness and you think to yourself: "i'm so glad i said no." :)

  3. I love this look! Two questions, though: what is that print on the top and did you get it recently?

    PS: I have that verse on my cork-board :)

    1. The print is tiny geometric shapes, and I bought it in the fall... But Forever 21 always seems to carry similar shirts!

  7. We are so bad in our culture about Sabbath...about resting and allowing ourselves to be recharged by His presence, by being still. the thing about it is, Sabbath is a Biblical command and saying no even to good things is a wonderful thing because it frees you to be more prayerful about what God really is calling you to do rather than what you are doing simply because the opportunity arises. Hope your "just being" time this weekend reneews your soul!
