&#34;I don&#39;t have time to get sick!&#34; How many times have you said this phrase? As if there ever was a good time to get sick! But, moms always seem to be surprised by sickness and annoyed by it. This week, I was hit with sickness and found myself uttering the very words. I had to be reminded that this forced space of rest can be frustrating, but it can also reveal truth and bring healing-- if we let God tend to us during this time. Join me today as I pray for the mom who is sick.

Now What?
Go with peace into your day of rest. Shabbat shalom.

The Dos & Don'ts of Sabbath

Rest doesn&#39;t have to be a four-letter word. If you feel like you&#39;re going to break from exhaustion, let me invite you to Simply Sabbath, a podcast for the burnt-out Christian mom, who longs to get back to the core of who she is and reclaim the deep joy and stabilizing peace Jesus has for her in her everyday-- without the mom guilt that often accompanies self-care practices.
Each week, we&#39;ll dive into all things sabbath. You&#39;ll hear some of the host&#39;s thoughts on Sabbath and the things she has learned over the past few years, but more importantly, you&#39;ll get to meet other women who are practicing Sabbath as well and learn what it looks like in their lives. Our conversations will center around God&#39;s original design for the week and how that design can be implemented in a culture that is so enslaved to hustle and hurry. 
What we are talking about in this podcast is not just another thing to add to your to-do list. This is not another expectation for you to live up to. It is a gift outstretched from the hand of your creator. An invitation to press pause on walking alongside Jesus in all the things he&#39;s called you to do. And instead, sit down across from him and just be with him. 
It is an invitation to Simply Sabbath.
