  urlLink The National Association for Christian Recovery Daily Meditation NACR "While we resist the gift of rest, many of us welcome burdens. We find it easier to believe that burdens are the gift God really wants to give us. We will welcome a difficult mission from God, a task, a challenge.
We welcome the opportunity to wear ourselves out in ministry. " While reading this paragraph something clicked for me, but I didn't jump at accepting it...I can certainly see this in some people...but certainly, not me Lord?! We go through certain&nbsp;phases...times when we are called to be productive and then those times when we are called to slow things down a bit...when we don't do it willingly, then life has a way of throwing things in our way to make sure&nbsp;we do.&nbsp; Cars break down, washer machine breaks down,&nbsp; children get very clingy and just want to be with mommy all day...(add in your own frustrations here). &nbsp;It's easy for me to&nbsp;jump to the conclusion&nbsp;that those difficulties are my mission from God and that I must accept them...but wait a minute...what am I actually&nbsp;being asked to accept?
Is it to accept my level of frustration and pain in all of this as I continue forth trying to&nbsp;still do everything with those situations at hand...or is it possibly for me to come to a resting place and stop struggling...to slow the pace down a little and just sit&nbsp;and hold my children a little longer...even if there are a zillion things to be done? !&nbsp;
