Draw Near

I haven't been on here as much. A few days ago a pair of scriptures kinda stuck to me, the first was this, from Mathew:

"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."

The second one, now that I look, I seem to have misremembered. What I recalled was a rebuke to those that ask questions and don't listen to the answers.

I have fussed and asked and wrestled and wondered about many things. But here is the quiet and simple answer of Jesus: "Come to me." I am weak--unable to understand, unable to make up for my debts, unable to give something of real value on my own. And I'm weary and worn with the effort of doing so. I long for the rest Jesus offers. His yoke--walking in the steps he lays--makes me smile.

So, that's where my striving has been the last few days--not in wrestling with questions, but with being more quiet and drawing near in simpleness. On the inside. On the outside, I've been crazy busy with events and homeschool stuff AND reading a lovely novel.
