It’s another one of those weekends that getting out of the city has become my main priority. I love the city of Austin, but it’s important to find rest. As I’ve written about on numerous occasions before, rest is something that humans need.
God created a day of rest for us for a reason. People rest in many different ways, and at least once a week, having a day to put things up for a bit to rest in him is important, but something I think is just as important is doing bigger rest periods. Even Jesus had times set aside away from others just to be with his Father.
For me, the best way I’ve found to be able to do this is through getting out in nature and sleeping under the stars.
It’s been an amazing yet stressful week of work and I am so looking forward to spending time away from the hubub of life and being out in God’s beautiful creation. It’s just out doing the same thing it’s always done.
Which is a pretty amazing thing.
