Slowing Down

Finding Rest in God

Finding Rest in God

In a world that glorifies busyness, we are constantly taught to find renewal in fleeting comforts like bubble baths, pedicures, or a glass of wine. While these things may offer temporary relief, the truth is that genuine rest and renewal can only be found in God.

Jesus extends this invitation to us: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." — Matthew 11:28-30

This sacred invitation is a reminder that we don’t have to carry the weight of our responsibilities alone. True rest is found when we lay our burdens at His feet and embrace the rhythm of grace He designed for our lives.

“Busy Vacation” tired.

“Busy Vacation” tired.

After this week, my husband and I realized something… we are not “busy vacation people” anymore.

We used to love to pack our vacations with things to do and see. When we would travel somewhere, it was always a busy experience as we tried to see everything!

Since we have started the process of slowing down to “see the details in everything”, we have lost the thrill of “seeing everything”!
