Five Minute Friday: Tired
5December 2, 2011 by Beth Hess
It’s morning, so I am. Tired.
I am busy, so I am. Tired.
I stayed up too late, so I am. Tired.
I am employee, friend, wife, Mom, helper, teacher, coach, feeder of the dogs, cleaner of the dishes, folder of the laundry, filler of the pantry…, so I am. Tired.
I am human, striving to be more. Better. More acceptable to other humans. More, more, more of I don’t even know what most days, so I am. Tired.
And then. I am still.
“Come to me all who are weary, and I will give you rest.”
So I do.
Rest.
Join the 5-minute movement at The Gypsy Momma in her 5-Minute Friday challenge. Each week she posts a word. Set your timer for 5 minutes and just write. No stopping. No editing. Only 5 minutes. Just my style!
Just Be Beth 
After reading your post – I took a deep breathe and rested for a few minutes. This morning God reminded me in Jesus Calling that He proves peace – HIs peace. I am resting in that promise today.

Hi there! Visiting from the Gypsy Mama’s site.
The Bible mentions rest several times, so I am assuming that God considers it to be important. I am so glad that He promises us rest. I count on it.

I wrote about that verse too! Aren’t we lucky that we have somewhere to go and find rest?

Yes, I know this feeling of tiredness all too well. I, too, am grateful for the rest He offers us all.
