It has been a huge year for everyone, hasn’t it! I’m sure many of us are feeling worn out, I know I am! Many of us are mentally, physically & emotionally exhausted from 2020.
We may have even arrived at the place where we feel we have nothing left to give! And it doesn’t matter how hard we try there’s just no emotional, mental or physical energy there to muster!
I have arrived at that place
You see when we come to that place of complete exhaustion whether physically, spiritually, emotionally or mentally. It’s really important to realize that we need to stop & not continue to drive ourselves further.
Realizing we truly need that rest stop to allow His refreshment & restoration in, enabling us to continue the journey that’s ahead or it will be too much for us!
This allows our heavenly Father to…
Be our shepherd,
supply for us,
give a sweet place to lie our weary heads
& a calm peaceful place to restore our souls…
to guide us forward into what He has for us,
in His will for our lives,
to give Him glory…
Psalm 23: 1-3 Refer
God’s Wisdom comes in the quiet restful places when the noise & activities have ceased!
So, I’m going to be wise & kind to myself today, by savoring a lovely hot cup of Aussie Bush tea with a slice of ginger & date loaf, put my feet up to rest, refresh & restore….

Tea With Jennifer 
Jennifer, just as needed now as the day you first wrote this post! I slowed my pace the last few weeks of December and it felt wonderful. And truly we need to pull over and rest beside His still waters a little every day. Such a good reminder to begin this new year with!
Thank you Joanne! I’m delighted you enjoyed your time here 🤗
Jennifer, thank you for your wise words and gentle example today! I need to hear these words and see other women taking time to restore, refresh and rest. I so often keep going as if there is no other choice. Thank you my friend for showing me a more excellent way!
You’re most welcome Donna, sadly I learnt my lesson the hard way…we really do need to stop, refresh & rest… Otherwise we become depleted & plain ol’ wore out! 😉
I love how you point out that rippled water doesn’t allow for any reflection!
Thank you Jansaun, lovely having you drop by today ☺️
