“Relax! Take it easy.”
January 16, 2009 in Life
Always in hurry, always in rush. Lots of thing to do. All day out of home. Quick lunch or even not. Stress. Finally at home. Time to rest. But no more strength to read a book or to do something to yourself. Too late to go out for a supper? Fed up with everything? What’s more even if you have some free time for yourself you spend it for a silly things like watching tv or doing absolutely nothing?? I think I know it very well…
Since I’m in Greece I understood that I was making a huge mistake. I didn’t care for myself enough! I didn’t spend my free time in right way. Ok, not always, but mostly! I didn’t rest with God, ith is words. I also lost somewhere my dreams. I’m keeping them for the future. But why for future and not to make them come true right here, right now? (if it’s possible of course) My desires are always in me, but somewhere very deep, under daily problems and duties. Staying here helped me to see, that being involved in all that things that I love, I lost somewhere myself.
In two or three weeks I’m coming back to Poland. I’ll be back to my old duties, that I miss here. But in the same time I would like to remember, that I have to have also time for my own and for the Father above. To speak with Him and hear His voice, to stay with my thoughts, to do something just for myself (to read a favorite book, go for a walk, visit grandmother, etc.), to see my life from a different perspective, to see little things that are bringing a joy and smile. Time to time I need to stop for a while, to get strength, to do my best. I can not just give. I have to take as well.
Jesus also needed some time on his own. I believe that God doesn’t want to make us tired of things that we like to do. So let’s take care about ourselves, let’s let God to be fully involved in our life. Don’t be in hurry.
