Jesus embraced silence and solitude in His everyday rhythms. He retired to desolate places to be alone with the Father. So, if the saviour of the world spent time alone with God in silence, it only follows that as mamas we need to, as well. Granted – it’s hard. What with small children, homemaking duties, and many other responsibilities. Yet, this is so important that Jesus not only exemplified it, but talked about it too.

What Is God’s Rest? What Does Resting In God Mean?
Today I’m sharing a bit about a topic I’ve been writing about recently in my blogs and podcasts: rest in God. We hear this phrase often, but what does it actually mean? So let’s get into it . What is God’s rest? One of the dictionary definitions for rest is: – to lie or lean on something, or to put something on something else so that its weight is supported This definition is very interesting considering what Jesus says in Matthew 11:28-30 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
