Rest
It has been over a month that I have been off work. But it has only been this last week that I have really begun to feel at rest. With all the details of taking a short notice sabbatical/stress leave, and then with it turning into resignation… Well life’s been it’s own kind of whirlwind lately.
But now, I am spending my time in my shop building lightsabers (go to the link to see them). I am feeling more creative and alive than I have in a long time! I’m enjoying my fencing classes with my wife and reading Star Wars adventures.
This time really is a blessing, but in order to accept it, I had to come to terms with God’s Grace in a new way.
I have had a hard time accepting this blessing from God because I know I don’t deserve it. I feel compelled to earn it, do my devotions, do something! But God had to come and tell me to let go and rest. It is a rare thing for me to advise anyone to take time off from their devotions, but that’s exactly what I had to do. And now, I realize that in the desert of this part of the journey, God has provided an oasis, where there is no stress, no worry for a time, all is provided for. Thank you Lord, you are so good to me.

Hello, Master Madcow.
It's real cool that you've now been getting your rest and such. Guess it takes a while to wind down eh? Nice now that you're arriving there. We have to talk sometime, okay? Okay. And my amature blog too. Happy saber smithing.
