You beckon me to cast my cares, but I hold them to me like cherished memories.
You tell me to rest, but I busy myself in absent-minded worry.
You made the world, the grass, the trees, the air, the leaves.
And I string words together, trying to capture Your creativity.
Maybe it's that You want me to sit beneath a tree.
To marvel at Your world, to feel the grass, to breathe in autumn.
Maybe it's that You renew me when I stop striving for personal rejuvenation.
Maybe it's enough to slow down enough to hear Your peace.

Ok. Your good. In my ME! moments I think "I could soooo do that". Yeah, not as good as you.
Great thoughts and a beautiful picture.
Blessings!
I would like to travel along with you via your blog. This was beautiful.
Goodness Mary...this is me:)
I am still struggling but not daily......
God has blessed me with friends in my small group at church....it has been a long time since I have had friends like this:) Thank you for praying!
I am still struggling at why God doesn't want us to serve at the church we are going to...I am trying to except that He may never call us to serve again? My friend said maybe that season in over...that was hard to hear:) We like the church and our daughters are enjoying youth group... could it be possiable that we are there not to serve?
Have you ever felt this way? I keep telling God I have surrendered everything including the Ministry we did...He is taking the lead. My husband feels the same way except that he does wish he could find a place to serve?
Please Keep us in your Prayers....

Thanks, all, for your encouragement.
Renee, I definitely know a bit of how you may be feeling. When we returned from France, I thought that was it. No more ministry. But God continues to use us, though not in "official" ways. I'd rest in the fact that we are ALL ministers, every single day. We don't need the title to love people, pray for others or share our lives.
