Hi everyone, I just watched the rest group from last week, your guys' rest group, not
the international one and it was so fun to hear your stories and what had
happened with you guys the last week, all four of you. It was very exciting and I so
hear you guys on, I don't know, everything from journaling to you Rita coming to
work and you just like go on autopilot until something happens and you realize
you're out of rest and yeah so I can totally relate to some of the things
you're saying and I would love to meet you on a weekend when I'm available. I
would love to meet you. I watch all of your rest groups and I watch your
journal sharing, journey sharing and yeah yes I find it really fun to see what's
going on in your lives and I've been in rest intensive, this is my second time
like for Rita and there has happened a lot of great things in my life that I
think is, it's not just by chance, I think it's related to being a part of
this group. One of them is that I, like I told you last time, I'm having these
Facebook lives that I don't think I would have even dared think the thought
of doing if I had gone through this and thought that I want to co-create with
God and this is on my heart and my life is changing and I want to tell someone
and also it's been a little bit hectic because something really, I am a singer
but I moved to a new city so I don't have any connections, I don't know any
musicians, any people like that so I'm totally new but then suddenly in the
course of two weeks things just opened up and I was asked to do three things
one was to direct a choir in my school which of 90 pupils where I'm a teacher
and it's been a big job and we're having a concert this Thursday and I feel just
I don't know yeah and the other thing is that I've been asked to help lead
worship and in a prayer and worship meeting that goes every other Monday and
also there's gonna be the biggest thing yet is what I was asked these things are
kind of coming a little bit out of the blue is to sing in actually the
cathedral of the city like the Norway's biggest city to have be a part of a
concert and be one of the lead singers in a concert in the Bergen Cathedral
actually so it's and it's it's kind of a little bit some of these things are a
bit crazy and I'm like this is not by chance that these things are happening
in my life and like I said I don't have any connections and maybe it is because
and now the Lord knows that I'm ready to take on this musical responsibilities
and that I actually can be in rest going through it because I do feel anxiety
about this big concert and about leading directing this choir of choir of 90 and
but I just feel like I've stepped into walking in rest and then God is I don't
know that I feel like I can carry maybe heavier things on my shoulder because
I'm learning to live in rest does that make sense and what I am challenged by
is still emotional I think it's having good and bad emotions and being able to
handle the hard ones every time I have struggle with emotions that I don't like
I feel I need to get out of them or I feel like something's wrong and going
through hard and challenging emotions like anger sadness feeling bitter
resentment or just like anxiety it's like I don't know I still struggle with
that I feel like my mood like is a little bit
I don't know. It's just to go through emotions with challenging emotions and
to find rest in it. Like I'm going in and out of rest and I think you know like
rest is a place in God and you can live there. I don't feel like I'm
living in it. I feel I still go a lot in and out of it and then when something
happens or I'm triggered I easily fall out of it or and I think that is
something I still that I still really find challenging to have more consistency
and living in rest and not be rattled by so many emotions or if it's more that I
need to just accept it that my emotions go a bit up and down and to not be
stressed that oh no I'm not in rest I'm feeling stressed and so I don't know if
it's just accept my emotions or if it is that I could actually live more in
rest through them. Yeah so that was what I was thinking about today. Thank you so
much for listening to me and I'll talk to you again hopefully soon.
