28 days

Today is day 1 of 28 days. The Lord has given me the gift of 28 days to spend with Him and rest. Friends of mine went to Africa for 28 days so I get to house sit. I'm still working but No tv, internet, even limit phone time to necessary calls. God is just calling me to Himself and I don't want to resist.
PLEASE PRAY. I’m not sure why Lord brought me here. I’m already trying to make a plan for the next 28 days. I’m trying to fill my time with doing things – read my bible, read this book, journal, sing, play guitar, dance etc…it’s gonna take me a few days to just “be”.

I know the main reason He called me here is to rest. Even when I was home last year and was at home most of the time and wasn’t working, I was not resting, I was striving - striving to hear from Him, figure out why I was here, adjust back to the States etc.

I realized tonight I can’t even rest without Him because my natural tendency is to work and do and strive. Pray that I just enjoy Him without expecting anything from Him in return . Pray I keep this “no agenda”. I also do ask for healing to take place as there are still some fresh wounds I'm pretty sure we are going to visit.

I love my Savior so much! I just let myself get in the way so many times of what He’s trying to do especially when He is trying to give me something (like grace or rest). I just want to learn to receive from Him and learn to just want Him and for that to be enough. Thanks in advance for your prayers. The 28 days are over May 17.

Resting in Him,
Becca

Oooh, I'm in a praying mood! I'll definitely be lifting you up Becca! The transition from being a human doing to a human being. I'll pray its an easier transition than you thought! Love you sis.
