This morning started before the sun. No sleep, and two giggling girls who seemed to have endless energy.

I sat there, watching them play together—little bursts of love spilling over into hugs, laughter, and those “Mama, watch this!” moments. My body was tired, but my heart was softening.

Matthew 11:28 came to mind:

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Rest doesn’t always look like a quiet cabin in the woods or eight uninterrupted hours of sleep. Sometimes, it’s found in the holy seconds between their squeals and my own deep breaths. It’s the release of saying out loud, “God, here’s how I’m feeling. Here’s what’s weighing on me.” It’s trusting that He hears every word—spoken or unspoken—and carries the weight with us.

Today, I’m choosing to name my burdens, let them roll off my shoulders, and rest in the One who holds me steady, even when life is loud.

What’s one thing you need to hand over to Him today?
