Let's call it... My Sabbatical

In my bible devotional today, I realized why I am on my current journey... what I'm now calling My Sabbatical. Webster defines "sabbatical" as a break or change from normal routine; leave. Hebrews 4 (Holy Bible, NIV) describes a day of rest according to God's own example, what we refer to as the Sabbath. I realized that (one of) His intent for my Sabbatical is to find, learn & grow my faith. Not just to rest, but rest in Him.

As I worked my way towards this period of time, I was looking most forward to removing the stress and tension that my employment caused me. Now, I see that I should have been (and will be) looking forward to spending time with Him, and my family. Seeking His Word today, my eyes gravitated toward this passage.

Hebrews 4:10 "For anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His."

Though I know that I still have work to do... the laundry doesn't "do" itself, I know that I rest from my previous job, and I will seek solace and peace in Him who is mighty and Good. Today, I pray that you will seek Him in your resting period, whether it is a moment, an hour or the entire day.

 

Welcome Home!

I'm not sure where to begin. I'm starting over... no job, no income. This is my attempt to loose the words running around in my head, the thoughts floating through my consciousness. I hope you enjoy my rantings and glean some pearls of wisdom from them.

I'm home. Each day, I care for my husband, my son, the chickens, our home. I manage household duties, a domestic diva extraordinaire! I'm new to this life, as I'm new to blogging. I hope there'll be an audience gather along the way. If not, at least I'll have a release for all this pent-up information.

Come, follow me.
