I want to continue with Sabbath rest; I don’t think God will let me leave this for some time, probably because I of all people need it the most. I say that because I feel so busy all the time, and constantly in the need of rest. I have been pulled in so many different directions lately, and have been under a lot of stress, that—in the words of the most famous of hobbits, Bilbo Baggins, I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter, scraped over too much bread ...
I had a dream today that I was free; no longer held captive by the ropes that bind me to who I was. I had a dream that the walls built around my heart were gone and that love would flow again from within its deepest cracks and crevices.
