Psalm 46:10

I always laugh at how I think things will wind down. I find myself saying that I'll get to stuff "after the semester is over." Or "after things at work die down." Yet that never seems to be the case. There's always so much to do and it doesn't stop. It's at the point where if I do have free time I feel stressed out cause I feel like I should be doing something. Just sitting still for a minute or two is distressing and unnerving. But it shouldn't be like that. I need to learn how to be still. To make time to be still.

I haven't been making time to relax like my doctor told me to. There's too much to do! School. Homework. Work. Dishes. Make dinner. Do Laundry. Clean the apartment. Make time for friends and family. And importantly, make time for Doug. And life will only get more busy.

I like feeling busy because then that leads to feelings of accomplishment.

But I need to learn to be still.
