Ahhhh... big sigh of relief, mama? The holidays are over! Unfortunately, the finale of the holiday's often leaves us moms with a sense of fatigue and burnout and the craziness of the Christmas season catches up to us in the weeks following the "big day". THEN, there is SO much pressure to get back into routine AND start on those New Year's resolutions. It's all just... too much. Often we end up sitting on the couch in front of the TV, eating holiday leftovers and "vegging out". We've earned it, right? This is what rest looks like... isn't it? The world encourages rest that is not truly restful, and leaves us feeling more drained and less energized than we were before. What if I told you there is a better way? Rest is a command from God. We are designed for rest, and so there is a way to rest that leads to true renewal AND communion with Him. In this episode, I am so excited to share 3 scriptures that emphasize God's design for rest and how to implement them into your life. As you learn what the word says and live it out in your life, you will experience that renewed strength and faithfulness in the small habits God lays out before you. Stewardship is not about striving, it's about surrendering. And rest is an amazing tool God uses to teach us, that despite our best efforts, He is sovereign above all of it. I pray this blesses you, mama. I would love to hear from you! 📫 Contact Me: smsertag@lakeheadu.ca
