Fill Me Up

I love my life and all the great people I get to share it with. There are long periods of time where everything is going great and life couldn't be better.  Then there are those rare moments when I feel like I'm being suffocated and choked by all that's going on in my life. 

I feel like this is one of those rare times when I just want to escape.  Get away from my responsibilities, stress and expectations.  I don't want anyone to depend on me for anything.  No cooking, cleaning, working, planning, teaching!

I want to sleep in late,  lounge around in my pajamas, not brush my hair, eat whatever I want.  Text messages, emails, phone calls can be put on hold.  I want to soak in a bubble bath for an hour or two and not have anyone knocking down the door.

How lovely it would be to just sit quietly on a beach reading,  listening to music.  Walking a trail and taking in the beauty that God created sounds nice.  

For a few days, it's my desire to be carefree,  no time limits,  no responsibilities or expectations from others. Just me and the Lord.

I am running on empty.  Lord, please fill me up til I overflow.
