"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." This was the verse that popped into my head as I was walking to church this morning. I really didn't want to go to church today. I also had to serve in Noah's Ark (my church's children ministry), which requires EXTRA energy which I didn't have.
I had had a not so good week this past week. I was feeling tired, stressed out and frustrated. Each day went by sluggishly as I tried to hold everything together. A month ago, I decided to give all my stress to God, but somehow it was all coming back to me. I felt so frustrated and disappointed with myself. Why was I back to where I was before? Why can't I seem to depend on God now? When the verse Matthew 11:28 popped into my head this morning, I just brushed it aside with not much thought. I had to lead the dancing for our church family worship this morning, and the two songs that really impacted me were "Joy" and "Everybody Everywhere". Both of the songs were really upbeat and I really wasn't up for it. But as I started worshipping, I felt this overwhelming joy and refreshment come over me. The verse of Everybody Everywhere goes like this:"From the top of my head, way way down to my toes. I can't keep it all inside, I wanna dance with all my might. " And I truly truly love the lyrics and the dance moves to this song. I knew that God was doing something wonderful. I wasn't even BOTHERED to ask for his help and his refreshment, but he gave it to me anyway. And even though I felt so tired from jumping around through two services of worship, I feel the most alive and joyful right now! Praise our God!
