Unrestfully at Rest

I am in a bit of a strange place this morning. The best way I can describe it is the title I used for this post - unrestfully at rest.

There is a quietness in my soul today, that has been lacking the last several weeks. And yet, circumstances would seem to dictate that it should not exist. I received some painful news yesterday afternoon. I am soul weary, but at peace - a peace that I described in my journal this morning as all encompassing and yet strangely empty.

There is a lyric from a Chris Tomlin song that has been floating around my head since yesterday morning, and is resonating in deep places today. "I am loved by the King, and it makes my heart want to sing."

Abba, I belong to you. Show me where you're working today and how I can join you.
