Tailspun

Somewhere in the hub-bub and buzz of this week I went into a tailspin. Maybe it was due to the whirlwind of the ER visit, resulting doctors visits, and the phone calls created by me sticking my finger into a bicycle crank at work. We all have these weeks when for some reason or another we get sucked up into life’s busyness where we just can’t seem to stop the spinning.

This week I was consumed by my work and worrying about my finger. However, it could have been anything else to send me spinning: a break up, moving, failing a test, a job lost, death of a loved one, or illness. These are only a few things that can send us spinning; some are our faults and others not so much. All I know is that I still find myself spinning, yet when I am honest about my life and myself with Christ my spinning slows down and even stops. He wants to stop our spinning; he wants us to be real. All because of his deep love for us, and his gentle heart. In Christ we will find rest for our souls.

Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
–Jesus of Nazareth
