3 books that have inspired me.
1) Rhythms of Rest (tagged) A beautiful book about rest and Sabbath. And I am heartbroken over the news that the author passed away 2 days ago. 😔 She was lovely.
2) A Gift From The Sea by Anne Morris Lindbergh
3) Taste and See by Margaret Feinberg

Gratitude
1) Good news from my doctor and feeling better
2) Fall leaves on my front porch
3) My daughter's laughter in the next room

Peek-A-Boo 🐶 #Ramses #reading #restday

My writing and reading buddy hanging out with me while I start this book tonight...

I loved this book. It wasn't fast paced and that's part of its beauty. It was a slow and restful walk with a good friend, filled with words that wove their way into my bones. How I approachm each day has been changed by the ideas Shelly shares so beautifully. If you need a rest, I recommend this gem. I will be sending copies to a few friends.

The book is insightful, powerful and memorable. The engaging approach to Sabbath is educational and motivating. Overall, I'm glad to have read the book. The pacing of the book was slow though and I found all the blog commentaries distracting.

Really enjoyed elements of this book, like this one, even if it is a bit long winded in parts #Christian #rhythmsofrest #BKlovesLitsy

I really love the way this book is forcing me to rethink my perspective on rest and sabbath. #rhythmsofrest

Sabbath is a time to transition from human doings to human beings

"Language making the heart race wildly with purpose." This sentence is my soul. We all connect to the divine in unique ways, special paths placed by our Maker- and language is one of the paths He selected for me.

I am honestly loving this book. Intentional quieting is so important, taking those moments alone with God- away from our phones and constant social buzz, it restores our soul.

Starting this today as part of the launch team- I'm really excited to delve into what Shelly has to say about rest and God's invitation to do so.
