Staycation

It has been a busy summer at the Yesel household! We have been going... and going... and going!

It used to be alot easier! I feel like when we go places that we are moving E out of our house! Highchairs, bouncers, and toys! Oh my!

I love vacation! The only issue that I have with vacation is that I usually end up more tired after the trip than I was before. Don't get me wrong, we always make WONDERFUL memories,  but we wear ourselves out by the time we get home!

Me and Cory love traveling, but I think I have about decided that the next vacation we go on will be a staycation and will entail one thing only... REST!

I remember fighting tooth and nail to try to stay awake when I had to go to sleep on my mat in kindergarten. I know you remember those days. Rest used to be more frequent, but these days is a rare occurence! 

I'm often reminded by my aunt that when I was in the 5th grade I wrote a book about my hobbies. Which at the time included: sleeping, watching tv, and laying on the couch! I was so interesting at such a young age, and not to mention adventerous!

Those 3 things sound AMAZING right now... Keeping up the kardashians here I come... Don't hate.

God wants all of us to get some rest.

The apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught. And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. And they went away in the boat to a desolate place by themselves. - Mark 6:30-32

My soul finds rest in God alone, my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation. - Psalm 62:1-2

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. - Matthew 11:28-30

God wants us to meditate and rest our minds and spirit. I'm gettin better at this... Slowly, but surely.

"Whatever things are true... Noble... Just... Pure... Lovely, whatever things are of good report... Meditate on these things." - Philippians 4:8

He wants us to find rest in him and thats exactly what I am going to do on my staycation.
