A time to replay the weekend & a reminder from Matthew 11

Saquish Beach on Saturday

This week flew by for me, very busy but very fun :)

On Saturday some good friends and I drove out to the beach for the day. The weather was beautiful and the water was warm enough to go for a little swim too. I love the refreshing feeling of a dip in the ocean! {hair after the ocean = my favorite} 

After a day at the beach, we enjoyed dinner out and then saw "The Dark Knight Rises"in IMAX, which made for a very thrilling experience.

Today I got to wear my new white jeans from crewcuts, they are actually boys! Crazy, I know! 

But hey, {boy's or not} the jeans are cute, fit well, and were a great deal [under $10].

Thanks Mitchell for snapping some photos this afternoon!

And friends to close out this Sunday, I would like to leave you with a few thoughts on resting in the Lord.

Matthew 11:28-30

"Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,  for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Whether it may be the bore of a lackluster crawl through the mundane week; the anguish and heartache resulting from a devastating loss; or just somewhere in between, we must always remember Jesus has  made Himself available to us! He is our rest, and not just a holiday or a break, but in every minute of every day we have the privilege, opportunity, and choice to "take His yoke upon us": to be coupled, linked, and tied to the gentle and humble heart of Jesus. 

I thank God for this tremendous blessing He has made available to us! 

Rest in Him
