Bookmarking this for the fall when rest seems “impossible.” Summer returns our family to itself and it is when we are happiest and healthiest because of rest. Remembering my true place in the pace of the world reminds me that I am not Atlas or Christ. Love this and love you and I’ll be the first one pre-ordering your book. ♥️
Such a helpful reminder as I head into actual labor, and wrestle with how much “maternity leave” to take from freelancing, newsletter writing, homeschooling, etc!
I unintentionally starting carvings back my sabbath in the last few months and it is so needed. As life returns to busyness and distractions are more and more, it’s good to give yourself the grace to rest.
What I’ve learned though about allowing yourself to rest one day a week is that you have to be intentional. You have to be willing to say no to many things but in saying no, you say yes to more important things.
Thank you for putting into words the importance of resting on the Sabbath. Also, I can’t help but think the timing is perfect as we dream of all these thing we want to do and achieve over the summer.

I feel like you wrote these words just for me. Thanks, friend 💛 (And can’t wait to hear more about that book!)
