Psalm 116:7

Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you.

I love the word “return” here.  To me it isn’t a word implying a salvation-seeking repentance after a wayward spree of sin. It’s not a prodigal’s son return. 

It’s the daily discipline of reminding myself of God’s faithfulness. Every morning when I come to the couch in the loft at daybreak to be alone with Jesus, I’m returning to my rest, a much deeper rest that I could get if I hit “snooze” on the alarm clock. Placing the Lord’s goodness back in the rightful place, if it has shifted behind other concerns in the past 24 hours. Pushing the “reset” button, back to the “factory settings”…recalibrating to this truth: God is good, and I am his.

● About Me

I’m Tricia. Follower of Jesus, wife, mom to three teens, musician, and teacher. I use this blog as a place to share my heart, especially about Scripture. I don’t have all the answers, but I try to be obedient to the Holy Spirit about what to share.

I named the blog “Pages and Stages” in reference to my years of journaling about God’s word as I go through different phases of life. Many of my blog posts here started as cursive writing on a page.

As you read, picture us sitting across the table with some coffee and carbs between us. If you have thoughts about what you read, I’d love to discuss…drop a comment! I appreciate you stopping by in my little corner of the internet. God bless you today. You are seen and loved.
