I have a “hustle” mentality (like most women) and I have a habit of working my self to exhaustion, taking care of everyone else, and overlooking Nedra’s needs. I found out this week that GOD cares about my physical needs just as much as my spiritual needs🙌🏽. 

MY READING : Psalm 23 tells us: “He MAKES me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.” (Psalm 23:2-3)

⚫️Many times GOD leads us to physical rest so he can RESTORE us spiritually. 

TRANSPARENCY : I was in a 3 car accident on July 17, which resulted in total loss, both airbags deployed, concussion (head injury), loss of consciousness, busted mouth, and etc, just to name a few. Well I only took one day off of work (superwoman🙄) and been non-stop since. Since then I’ve been battling headaches, inability to focus on computer without headache, inability to workout, discouraged, and overwhelmed. **I NEEDED REST**. Long story short, I passed out at therapy, my primary doctor found out from therapist, and now I’m off work for two weeks no questions asked (REST). In that moment I was like GOD, I don’t want to be off from work.

LESSON : God is not expecting us to be super women. We do not get extra points for running on fumes. God understands we needs rest just as much as prayer and quiet time with Him. God wants us to take care of our bodies and treat them like the temples they are. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) 

ENCOURAGEMENT: REST when you need it! Stop trying to do EVERYTHING for everyone and forget to take care of you. It’s not about who ran the fastest, but who ran well!

Happy Monday ladies!!!❤️ #SheDeclaredWar
