collaborate

collaborate.

Life gets busy. I get tired. And far too many times I forget that I’m not supposed to be doing this whole thing in my own strength anyway. My own strength leads me to burnout. To frustration. To feeling like a failure and ultimately to immobility.

That’s not what He has for me.

When I decide to take on His yoke and plug back in to His strength, the flow of a busy life feels manageable and allows me to ride the wave instead of have it crash over me. I am able to find rest in His strength. The strength that never runs out. Never gets tired of holding me up. Is always available if I choose to plug back in to the source and stay connected.

I sometimes forget that this life is a collaboration between us; me being His creation, He being the Creator that has given me this gift to create. It’s silly of me to think I can create anything without Him, but I’ll give my brain 1 point for trying.

Today, I’m plugging back in to the Source. I’ve been tired. I’ve been weary, and today, I will find rest. Rest that’s not just good for my body, but the kind that replenishes my soul. And remind myself that this is a partnership, a reliance, a collaboration between two creators.
