Last month I got to go work out on a farm. This farm was right on the side of a mountain and it’s steepness made working slippery and tiring.  

It was a beautiful day, with the sun beating down on us.  We were chopping up and removing coffee shrub stumps. And planting banana trees. 

As I removed the stumps, put them into piles, tied them and swung them up on my shoulder and walked back  up that mountain. I realized I was worn out and about to collapse. I just continued to go back and forth. As people told me to take a break, I refused. I am a determined person and I can be stubborn. 

 I just started praying as I would go down and back up.  One step after another. The more I climbed the more my legs became weary. The more my sight would begin to fade, the closer I was to reaching my human limit.   

I would just begin to pray, asking the Lord for the energy, for the strength, and for the determination to continue what I had started.   

The Lord gave me what I needed. 

This moment correlates to so many people’s lives. So many of us are just tired! We are tired of Covid, tired of pain, tired of loss, tired of school work, tired of work! 

What if we invited Jesus Christ into this?

So many of us are barely hanging on. The world all around us is in a uproar.  

Start talking to Jesus!! 

He can replenish you!

 “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
Isaiah 40:28-31
