Taking A Break

1–2 minutes

Beverley

Hello everyone!

This post is to inform you that I will be taking a short break from blogging to rest.

I have been blogging since 2014, publishing at least one post perday, and have never taken a break.

I have come to the realization that I need to spend some quality time with the Lord reading His Word without any distraction.

I will also be spending some time to do some necessary maintenance on my blog.

It means, therefore, that I will not be visitng your blogs or commenting on any posts for a while.

Rest assured, I have not forgotten you! You are all still on my heart and in my prayers.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who have supported me throughout the years by reading, liking and commenting on my posts.

I appreciate your generosity.

Please note that I will resume blogging on March 1, 2020.

Thank you

    “Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. 2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. 3 For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:

    “So I swore in My wrath,
    ‘They shall not enter My rest,’ ”

    although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”; 5 and again in this place: “They shall not enter My rest.”

    6 Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience, 7 again He designates a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said:

    “Today, if you will hear His voice,
    Do not harden your hearts.”

    8 For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day. 9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His….Hebrews 4:1-10

    Rest well in Him. This reminds me of the Mary and Martha story. Sometimes, in fact most of the time we need to simply sit at His feet. ❤️

    Refreshing yourself in the Lord is time well spent Beverley. It pays great dividends, Spiritually speaking. Blessing God with this time devoted to Him will certainly bless you. That’s what I’ve been doing for awhile as well. Keeping you in
    prayer my friend. 🙏
