Refreshed! (part 4): The Valley


Jesus said, "Come to me all 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

Thanks Tracy. I know that one well, but some days, I need friends like you to POST verses like this, because all I've got is ... well, that miserable piece I wrote today. Love my bloggy friends. Between us, we'll make up a useable Body of Christ.

What an awesome opportunity for you to be refreshed and renewed alongside like-minded women. It is inspiring and encouraging to fellowship with believers and to commune with God in his creation! I've been reading through your previous posts, beautiful!

Wow, Tracy, you've really been getting in touch with your inner photog. Such Superior-and Inspirational-snaps! I have to say that I do try to be humble in heart, although it's not always easy to be gentle...

Melissa, it's just that I had such a great time on this retreat, both learning and taking pictures. I only wish I had had time in the past week to blog my way through it. But my favorite is up next...

And the exhortation was more to rest than to worry about whether you are are humble or gentle like Jesus (although I could certainly stand to give that some thought, now that you mention it!). He is approachable, and he understands our burdens so completely.
