Anchored Women

We live in a culture that encourages, even idolizes busyness.

Wife-ing, Mommy-ing, Homemaking, Working… nothing seems to be as simple as it used to be.

Facebook and Pinterest and Instagram and a hundred other pressures tell us we need to do more, be more, if we’re to be considered worth anything at all.

The bar has been raised, and if we’re honest, we have a hard time keeping up.

But who raised the bar, and why did we let them? What if the standard really isn’t so high?

What if, in all of our striving, we’re really missing the most important thing?

Embracing Rest final

This next week, let’s talk about rest. Real rest. Soul rest.

Jesus knew. He knew we would hit the wall, knew our striving would burn us out, knew we were made with this innate need for rest. And instead of fighting it and asking us to push harder, He asked us to embrace it.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28

Embracing rest. It might seem impossible. Or it could be the thing you’ve been missing all along.

Join me for five days as we talk about living intentionally and Embracing Rest. I hope it blesses your socks off and changes your life. It’s beginning to change mine.
