Yesterday, I had my first Sabbath in over a year. And it was delightful. Now I remember why it’s so important to take a Sabbath rest. First and foremost, because it’s God’s gift of rest to us. But also because (perhaps as a part of that) I cannot face doing school seven days a week. I just can’t. So, ironically, or perhaps fittingly, because I took yesterday off, I actually felt ready to face today. And this is not going to be an isolated incident: I’m going to make accepting the Sabbath a priority once again in my life. God has never let me down in the past, certainly He won’t now.
In other thoughts, I somehow need to learn to integrate my inner self with the self I project to the general public. I think this is most noticeable in me in regard to men. If you only listened to me jabber on, and never sat down in a so-called heart to heart conversation, you might actually think I have a pretty low opinion of men in general. This is not at all true, as those of you who know me know. I’m not against men, nor relationships. I am content single, but I don’t want to necessarily stay that way. It’s just that it is easier if I do, and I’m okay if that happens. It’s not perhaps my desire, but I’ll accept my lot in life.
Only, I think my lot in life might be improved if I was a bit truer to myself in public conversation. Something to work on.
And, finally, I think Hebrew is beginning to click, to make sense. There is hope!
