When you need encouragement to rest…
Earlier this week I shared the truth God gave me on my flight to Chicago about national security…as a nation under God. In God. With God. True security in Him alone. And you may have been curious…Where was Heather going? Why was she in Chicago? Well, here is the rest of the story…

When you need rest, sit secure between His shoulders
The first time I met her I wasn’t a big fan. I had interviewed the pediatrician, not his nurse. Her lack of eye contact, abrupt manner, and apparent dislike for her job were irrelevant at this point. According to “What to Expect the First Year”, my one week old, first-born son required a doctor’s appointment. It was too late to find another doctor just because ...

24 hours of ceasing
I haven’t killed anyone. Stolen anything. I don’t think I’ve lied to anyone lately.
But when was the last time I rested for 24 hours straight? Have I taken a break from working, doing, striving for 24 solid hours?
Did you know that taking a break for 24 hours (aka “keeping the Sabbath”) is one of the 10 commandments?
“Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you ...

I love what she said about not equating having joy with feeling good all the time. I often feel exhausted and worn out from the constant of taking care of my littles day in and day out, but that doesn’t mean I can’t have joy and be grateful for them in the midst of that!
yes! so true Melinda! still hard to choose gratitude and joy in the midst of the long days. . .but life isn’t about arriving to perfection but about the journey of surrendering our comfort and convenience. thanks for listening!!
As a mom with 5 children ages 9 and under, this so resonated with me. Being a wife, a mom, a homeschool teacher, someone with thyroid disease who seems to be constantly reeling from childbirth, and thoroughly exhausted with all the things, this episode breathed life into my lungs. I’m going to go back and listen to the previous episode about overcoming being an angry mom because I find myself so frustrated many days, whether it’s with myself or my children. The mention of control in this episode also perked my ears because that too is my nature. Thank you so much for this episode.
I’m so grateful it was an encouragement to you Kim. Praying for rest for your soul. thank you for listening!
Encouraged by September’s wisdom on rest. It’s not something to be ashamed of or feel guilt over. The suggestion to step away from tasks and commitments to heal is a really good one! As mentioned, even Jesus needed time away. One thing worth mentioning though is seeking medical and psychological help if needed for the physical and mental exhaustion. Postpartum depression and maternal distress is real and should be ruled out or treated. I think all of tips and suggestions given in this podcast is great but when a mom is breaking down emotionally and mentally it is a battle to do anything, really. With help and Biblical counsel she can see begin to see that rest is attainable and try some of these suggestions.
Most definitely agree Betsy!! So many other episodes I’ve done we’ve encouraged moms to pursue counseling but definitely good to mention it in this context too! Thank you!
