Only Jesus can fill that hole 🫂 “but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭31‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Unfortunately I grew up in a household where mental health isn’t real and any time I had for myself was seen as me being useless and lazy. Being so busy that I didn’t have time to think has worked for me for so many years and I don’t feel the need to stop now.

As someone who can relate to that history trust even when you feel that you dont need to stop give yourself the permission without the guilt or shame to rest for an evening. Its not lazy its not useless. Our minds need rehab too just as over used muscles need rehab
