I am so tired. So tired. You know the kind of tired I mean. The kind that just slowly settles on you and completely takes control. One minute you think you have mastered the circumstance. The next you realize that it is you that has been conquered. So, today I will try and find myself again. Because I don't like this person who has taken up temporary residence... She is just too tired...
"Come to me, all who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
ReplyDeleteI'm sad to hear of your "tiredness". I DON'T know all the contributing factors in your situation, but I've been tired before...and it's not a good way to be. If you need help, don't be too proud to ask for it from someone who loves you. Please.
Oh sweet friend I will lift you in prayer. I know the feeling well and finally this year I am feeling new energy and hope. I am not sure if you are feeling tired b/c of life or physical reasons but either way I know how you feel. I highly recommend the Maker's Diet and you might look at my post about Adrenal Glad Fatigue. Sense I have been changing things I feel sooooooo much better. Sending you a HUGE cyber ((HUG))!
ReplyDeleteBlessings and ((HUGS))

This is for anyone who lovingly comments...
ReplyDeleteI have been dealing with some things that physically sap me, yet God is good and I've been doing well. I will post tomorrow about our lovely 4th celebration. It was just a very busy week for someone who is already running on less than what it takes. I really did enjoy myself and think all was fine until I finally let down my guard. Yesterday I just kind of crashed.
Thank you to all who have already offered scripture and prayer. Thank you to those who I know will... You really are good friends and I cherish your sweet encouragement.
Hugs back, Debbie
I can identify with your post today. I pray that times of refreshing will come to you from the presence of the Lord!
ReplyDeleteOh Debbie, you are in my thoughts and prayers! This getting older stuff is hard isn't it? My mind thinks it's still twenty while the rest of me knows better! Get some rest my friend.xx
ReplyDeleteI so know your feeling. Sometimes I just get to the end of my rope and need solitude. So, with this, I pray God will renew your strength, give you rest, and give you all you need to carry one. I pray peace over your heart and body.
ReplyDeleteI had many days like that.....they ended about a year ago....after I had some physical issues taken care of. It has a lot to do with our age....well....I am assuming we fall into the same age group anyway. :) (47)
ReplyDeleteI hope you can get some rest. I get that way too and then I pull back and open my book of love letters and He restores my soul. I hope you can get refreshed. I will be praying for you my friend.
ReplyDeletePhysical rest makes such a difference in my life. Often I need to remind myself that I'm not a machine and that rest is crucial to my well being, and in turn, to those who need me.
ReplyDeleteMay God's Word refresh your spirit and may your enthusiasm return. Blessings from Denise.
I have just read a quote from Rumi, that may fit here.
ReplyDeleteStop weaving - and see how the pattern improves...
Sending love and hugs - be gentle with yourself xx
Prayers for you to have a deep rest today for both your body and soul.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are able to get some physical and spiritual rest. I know those times that are trying and you feel like you can not take even one more breath. Praying for you and that all will be well!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you as you rest in Him!

Debbie, I suffer from chronic fatigue. I had a rough winter, but then slowly I started to feel like my old self. I just pray and try not to push myself too hard. But you have your family, I am by myself, so a little easier for me, I guess. I do believe our Lord meant for us to take things liesurely at times. xo,
ReplyDeleteI hope you are taking time to rest. To quote the great philosopher Winnie the Pooh (!) "Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day." Sending a huge hug!
ReplyDeletePerhaps you are too busy or you are in need of a good night's sleep. I declare it a "Take care of you" day...whatever that means for you. Take some time just for you. (It may mean a delicious nap.)
ReplyDeleteTake care Debbie! I am thinking of you today and sending you positive energy.~ Karen
ReplyDeleteWe all get like that..this is earth life, a time to be tested, tried and proven. It gets tough at times but I know that trough prayer, our burdens can be lightened...sending you 12 big hugs..that will fix you! ;D
ReplyDeleteIt makes me sad to here of your tiredness. You are in my thoughts and I will say a prayer for your burdens to lift and for life to become blessedly ordinary for you. I wish I could find the words to help you. Sometimes when it rain, it pours? Maybe just rest and relax... “Knit On, with confidence and hope, through all crises.” I hope you are able to overcome the obstacles in your path. Again, you will be in my thoughts!
ReplyDeleteRest my lovely.xxx
ReplyDeleteTake care:@)
ReplyDelete'tiredness' meaning ( it's time to cut back - slow it down -- go on a easy careless no hurry walks that allow you to just see and feel the beauty around - sing songs - can you do that alone.. it works for me! God bless you.. hugs
ReplyDeleteThanks for telling us so that we can share your pain and lift you up...it's what friends do, right?
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope someone rubs your back and pats your shoulder and whispers, "It's okay."
ReplyDeleteOh Debbie, I know exactly the kind you are talking about so yes dear, do take some time to yourself and just sleep and rest and hibernate and just be....It's okay, becuase we all do it and we all need it.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with you...
hugs!
Oh my friend, I am praying for you today...praying for rest...praying for strength...praying for restoration...praying for refreshing...praying for His help.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you...
Dear Debbie,
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon, dear lady! Rest as much as you can, and know that "a bad day for the ego is a good day for the soul." If we didn't know what tired feels like, we wouldn't appreciate what having energy feels like!
Love,
Marqueta
p.s. Oh yes, I get to sneak peeks at all the goodies coming in at the thrift store. It's like someone with food addictions working at a bakery. . .Get behind me, Satan! :)
p.p.s. The word verification is "reste"!
I pray that you will find rest Debbie. Sometimes life just hits you like that. Then one day you wake up and everything is fine and your energized even though nothing else has changed.
ReplyDeleteDebbie, your body is telling you to 'pull over' take a break and say no occasionally. You don't have to come to a standstill...just a long pause or a slow down. You have been so busy and even when I read your posts I sometimes wonder where you get the energy from. A little well earned holiday perhaps.
ReplyDeleteTake care girlfriend you are in my thoughts. Hugs Maa.
Dear Debbie, sometimes I push myself too hard trying to do it all so no one goes wanting of anything. And then I get run down. I get up early and go to bed late. Not a good recipe to rest a tired body.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you can get some much needed rest, comfort and peace.
JB
I will be praying for you xoxo Clarice
ReplyDeleteI pray for you a breath of fresh air... a sense of renewal and refreshment... a new boost of energy... and a better day tomorrow. blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteBut those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. ~Isaiah 40:31
ReplyDeletePraying for you, ~Lisa
Sometimes I get burn-out real bad. The only way is to rest until you feel like you can't sleep anymore...The Lord will soothe you. xxoo
ReplyDeletePraying that you will feel God's comforting and refreshing presence which will allow you to really rest!
ReplyDeletePraying for you...
ReplyDeleteDebbie please take care of yourself. Tired is a sign to slow down and take care of ones self. B
ReplyDelete((((Debbie))))) sending hugs and prayers your way. For God to renew your strength and hope. Hang in there, HE cares for you...:)
ReplyDeletexoxo...Gloria
Big BIG hugs to you. I do know that kind of tired--so tired that it feels dangerous. Keep sleeping.
ReplyDeletePoor Debbie - I'm sorry I'd missed this, but all your friends prayed for you and now you're better! Thank God.
ReplyDeleteDon't overdo. It's not always the easiest thing, though.
I am feeling this way after the move...I am realizing it wasn't the physical that zapped me it was the emotional battle for over a month. I am praying for you that you find an answer and as you wait you rest on the strongest arms in the world. Sorry I missed this when posted first...I am lifting you in prayers right now!
