Let me get right to the point. You can be fully busy and fully at rest at the same time.  Yes. I know it doesn’t make sense so hear me out. 

For so many of us, our schedules and daily living come jam packed with To Dos and Must Dos and Gotta Be Somewheres. I won’t list all of the ways because your head and calendar are full of them already. I know that mine are.  

But, when we invite the Lord into our busy-ness or to be more accurate when we recognize His presence is already there with us, we receive His rest and peace. We can stop burnout, even when we can’t slow down to physically rest. The Lord gives us breathing space when we thought we had none, regardless of our booked calendars and overflowing To Do lists.
