Maybe it’s just me. But I think this is true for a lot of us a lot of the time. Do you need to stop, rest, and remember?
Women are tired. Women struggle. We carry loads of responsibility – work and school assignments, caretaking of children and aging parents, ministry at church and beyond. With these responsibilities come great joy and privilege, but…
We are tired. For some of us, life barrages us like a sudden slew of group text messages, and
We forget…
We forget…our God-designed and designated meaning and mission.
We forget… how the Bible explains our compulsive need for control and the reason we struggle with shame.
We forget…the hope of the freedom for which Christ set us free.
We forget…the hope that comes when we set our sights on the full redemption to come.
Stop. Rest. Remember.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
