GOD Rest is the profound peace received to those that love and obey Him regardless of circumstances. We can look at two viewpoints of GOD’s Rest.  The first comes from Genesis 2: 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.   After listening to sermons and doing research, this Rest reminded me of wanting to play with my make-believe live city.   I first had to set up everything in my Lego city.  I had to create a landscape. I add trees, houses, cars, and people to the design. I had to put everything in its place until I felt satisfied with the creation.  In other words, once finished, I “rested” from creating the foundation.  It was then I began to play within the city.  

The other viewpoint of GOD’s Rest is the peace we receive when we obey, trust and love GOD. It states Hebrews 4:3 For we which have believed do enter rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. After doing research, I understand that this Rest must be associated with our beliefs.  Where we put our trust. This trust allows us to move out of the place of trying in our own ability and knowing GOD has all the ability.

​​The Inner Knowing- Sometimes we hear a small voice or have an inner knowing of something that does not come from the flesh realm.   Many people equate it to intuition but this feeling of knowing comes from the Holy Spirit. It is something that does not allow us to ignore.  We can see this in operation in 1 Samuel 3: 9-10 when Samuel thought he heard Eli calling when it was Holy Spirit.

​Helps with our fears
Holy Spirit gives us courage and strength the endure the battles we face.  That we do not work timidly day by day but know that the LORD walks beside us, fighting for us.  That we understand and see that the victory has been already won, that we have been given authority to take on the darkness because GOD has won the battle what we must do, it walks it out. Deuteronomy 31:6

​GOD’s Personal Presence, in Hebrew is known as Rauch meaning air, wind, or breath. All having in common invisible energy.  Holy Spirit is divine.

The third part of what Christians refer to the Trinity, the Godhead (Father, Son, & Holy Spirit).
Holy Spirit is equal to GOD and Jesus.

You will find Holy Spirit first appears in Genesis 1:2
   2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

​Bergamot is found throughout the Mediterranean and is a tropic citrus fruit from Citrus Bergenia plant. It has a similar color to a lime and yellowish depending on ripeness.  Bergamot has a very distinct fragrance and flavor; the essential oils are extracted from the rind.  This fruit is not sweet like the orange as a matter of fact it is not eaten fresh, however it is a good source of vitamin C, potassium, vitamins B1, B2, and A. bergamot oil have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.  
​In Europe the flesh and zest of the Bergamot are used as a flavoring in cookies, custards, marmalades, syrups, and cocktails and of course this is one of the main ingredients of Earl Grey Tea.

​A meltdown is a reaction to feeling overwhelmed, trying to process too much sensory input all at once. This differs from temper tantrums defined as disruptive behaviors or emotional outbursts that involve physical acts or screaming.  Meltdowns are indications you are not aligned with your core. You are off-center and balance. You are at the point of feeling out of control. 
According to the oxford dictionary, control is defined as the power to influence or direct people's behavior or the course of events.   Many circumstances in life remind us that control does not belong to us.  What belongs to us is the ability to align and balance our core.  

​Children and adults alike experience tantrums and meltdowns. Many people confuse tantrums and meltdowns as being the same behavior, but they are not.  Temper tantrums are disruptive behaviors or emotional outbursts that involve physical acts or screaming. Tantrums are usually associated with individuals throwing fits in order to have their way.  This is not only behavior in children, but adults also experience this.  A meltdown is a reaction to feeling overwhelmed, a reaction to trying to process too much sensory input all at once. Today we will look at adult meltdown.

​I have also found that many people believe that it pleases GOD when we read the bible. Reading the bible is not for the purpose of scoring points with GOD or getting His approval. He desires that we read the bible to get guidelines, instructions, and safety.   Also, some people use the word read and study when it comes to the bible interchangeably. However, there is a difference between these two words.   We will explore the difference between reading and studying the bible. 

​There is a scientific explanation for the connection between our emotions and what we smell. This connection has to do with our olfactory system, or sense of smell and the amygdala which is a part of the brain that acts as our emotional processing center.  These direct connection triggers memories and emotions or cause us to feel a certain way.
