After a very busy month and\u00a0 the most recent event, church camp, I am tired. I suppose it is the body’s response to being “on” for so long.\u00a0 I just needed to stop and rest but I didn’t take much of a break since I had responsibilities at my home church.\u00a0 Today I walked an outdoor labyrinth and felt renewal.\u00a0 So many things were still hanging in thoughts from the past month.\u00a0 As I walked I was able to put them aside so that I could focus on my upcoming retreat.\u00a0 I felt the burdens lifting from me and a lightness has entered me.\u00a0 I believe I will sleep better tonight.\u00a0 I can finish preparations and participate fully in the retreat where I can rest in God along with my sisters in Christ.<\/p>\n
Being tired for good reasons is fine but recharging is very important. I talk about centering and renewal of spirit to my directees and I know that these things are vital to health. Today I practiced what I preached and am grateful for the graces given. We all need time with God daily and sometimes in retreat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
