And on the seventh day, God rested.
Sabboth is an important gift. Stopping, resting, renewing. We need Sabboth.
The last few years I've had to jump from one thing to the next with very little space for holy rest. It's the season of life that I'm in.
I've found creative ways to make that space. Trips to the beach, giving the kids hoses and letting them run free in the backyard, taking a jog after preschool drop off. But the past couple days, God has called me to a deeper rest. Traveling away from the children, my intention was to work like crazy. But my purpose of coning here was to connect. Connecting with humans is not something you can cram into minutes and seconds or check off a list. It comes from creating space to be present.
So I've given myself permission to be present.... and Sabboth finds me. A woman invited me to yoga out if the blue. I shared drinks with folks well into the night. I learned things... and I find myself with new energy.
Sometimes when you are busy, you really need rest. It allows you to reconnect with who you are and where you are going. Thanks, God, for helping me find Sabboth.
