This question resonated with me the most, “What if God is asking us to let our yes be a yes to Him, not just a yes to whoever asks first or loudest?”
My yes is always to more work, more volunteering, more responsibilities of some sort. More recently, I’m feeling the tug to lean into time with my children and into the R word— rest🤯. Sometimes it feels like the external work is more important; I know that’s not true.
I’m hoping that I can be courageous enough to be obedient amid all there is to do and release the FOMO and guilt associated with it. 🩷
Sweet Marika, you are so amazing in allowing yourself to be vulnerable in this moment by sharing your FOMO reality. Trust me, you are not alone. The external work may be necessary as a ‘resource’, however the Lord is our true source.
I’m always reminded of the beginning of Genesis and how it’s clear that God rested. Even, Jesus found time to rest in the middle of a storm, and then some. Without rest, there is no room for the Lord to do what only He can do. Rest is how we can truly hear from Him.
Society tells us ‘we have to have it all.’ However, we have eveything we need in Christ Jesus.. It doesn’t mean we can’t ‘want’, but he provides our needs if we trust HIm..🙏🏼💖
I’m cheering you on in getting that incremental rest for yourself, time with your children.🎉
P.S. Here’s a little secret…I have to remind myself ot this as well😉
