On resting

I have been thinking about entering G-d’s rest lately. I feel like He wants me to change my schedule for a while and focus on spending more time with Him. I need to learn how to be OK with not accomplishing things by human standards. I still have to pray more and discern what exactly the L-rd wants me to do, but I’m looking forward to whatever season He is taking me into. (Huh. I ended a sentence in a preposition. Whatever; I can totally do that if I want to. *shakes her diploma at nothing in particular*)

On a related note, I was looking at my blog stats today and noticed a couple people wondering via Google search where Misty Edwards is. (It is nice sometimes to look at my stats and see that not all of my visitors arrive at my blog by using the keyword “cult.”) All I know is that she’s on sabbatical of a sort—she’s stepped down from worship leading and other leadership positions here at IHOP-KC. I think she’s just chilling in the prayer room and resting in the L-rd. Good for her, I say…and I sincerely hope nobody—visitors or staff—bothers her about when she’s officially coming back. Girl deserves a break after so many years of hardcore full-time service in the prayer room.

    Resting in Him is a beautiful reality that I think many of us miss out on. Just this last weekend I was trying to stay up all night at The Burn (http://theburn247.com/) here in oklahoma city. I feel called to stand in the night, but with a day job, it doesn’t happen all that often. I hadn’t gotten enough rest the night before, so some time around 2:00 am I was starting to really lose it. I wanted to shake myself and keep pressing in, but I really felt His rest coming on me (no, not just my exhausted body! ;) . So I just lay down on one of the couches there and I really had an experience of leaning upon His bosom… it was so awesome.

    I figured Misty was on some kind of sabbatical when I saw her name drop off the schedule. I’m glad she has more time at His feet.

    The last sentence doesn’t make sense.

    It makes sense in a slang sort of way. The full sentence should technically be: “The girl deserves a break…” but sometimes you may hear people dropping the article. Occasionally I like to break the rules, too. *waves diploma again*

    Hey! Yeah get some rest if you feel like the Lord wants that!
    It’s pretty hard to step down from all you’re doing huh, but you can do it! You need to be full of energy when I arrive…
