REST. What happens when you hear that word? Do you immediately dismiss the idea, thinking it will never happen for you? After all, you think, my life is too busy to take a break and rest. Or does your heart cry out in longing? Does your body crave a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of your days? Does your entire being desperately desire rest?
The Lord Jesus spoke candidly about the topic of rest. He knew that we would struggle over and over to get the rest we need. That’s why in Matthew 11:28-29 He said, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” We desire to grow in approaching each day with renewed hope for rest, in breathing deeply, and in grasping the life-changing importance of stillness. We want to experience the Lord and His deep love for us. We want to find rest for our souls.
To help us grow in this area, and to provide an opportunity to rest and renew, we hope you will join us for our fall ladies retreat!
