today, i am resting//a poem

today, I am resting.
I am resting in the whirl-down of Tuesdays
class in glass, keep it all
tucked in, hands down words out
work day Tuesdays.
I am resting.

I am resting in this conversation
head high, determination
fully knowing that my worth isn’t
determined by you or me so I have
security in whatever things you hold in your heart and mouth
that He knows and loves me and so
I am resting.

I am resting tonight.
easy to be let worry cloud my vision and
fill my mind but
in surrender there is rest
in knowing that your ways are true and right.

I am resting.

It’s so easy in the rush of the Christmas season to forget to rest. Resting is so, so dear. And so as Christmas approaches, remember where rest comes from- Jehovah Shalom. I Am Peace.
