Have you ever thought that if you stopped something or slowed down on it that it was like giving up or failing? Do you wonder if there can be a balance of resting AND working hard toward your health goals?  Are you curious what the process of letting go of something in obedience to the Lord looks like when it comes to your health or life?  Today, I’m talking about it all in pure honesty of where the Lord has been working in my heart and life lately and the season that He is leading me into next on a personal level and what that has to do with you and this podcast. I pray you are blessed and encouraged by this episode as you journey forward living healthy and empowered by the grace of God and all for His glory!  In Joy, Lauren  P.S. My prayer is that this isn’t goodbye, it’s talk to you later!  In the meantime, listen back through old episodes on this podcast, practice and apply the things I've talked about that you haven't yet tried, AND check out a few of my best recommendations for keeping yourself encouraged an accountable as you continue forward living health and empowered for the glory of God!

Do you find yourself working and stressing all week long, never finding time to take a break? 

Are you wondering if something like weekly Sabbath is even possible for a busy mom like you?

Do you believe the Lord is calling to something more with Him but can’t seem to find enough to seek Him and find out? 

With all of the to-do’s looming over your head, especially when you think about what you want to do to be living “healthy,” it can be really overwhelming to think about now setting aside more time for weekly rest too! I know first hand that it can be challenging, especially if you’re anything like me and are driven by achievement, accomplishment and productivity. But the Lord has been teaching me so much about rest and I want to share it with you! 

Today, I want to talk about what developing a weekly rhythm of rest might look like for you and how it can impact your ability to live the healthy and empowered life you are longing for. 

Even if you have good rhythms of daily rest like sleeping and quiet times, the Bible has some things to teach about having weekly rhythms in place too for resting. 

Grab your Bible and a notebook and let’s get into it! 

I pray you are blessed and encouraged by this episode as you journey forward living healthy and empowered by the grace of God and all for His glory! 

In Joy,

It would make my day to hear from you! Will you be so kind as to leave a quick review here.  

Are you tired of feeling tired day in and day out? 

Do you wonder if there will ever come a time in your life where you don’t feel stressed? 

Are you curious if resting will truly create more peace than chaos in your days? 

The truth is…REST is so much more than sleep. 

When you are well rested, you live a calm and peaceful life. 

When you are well rested you have energy to do the things you need to do and mental capacity to make the decisions that need to be made. 

When you are well rested you can manage your emotions rather than let your emotions manage you. 

Today I want to talk about daily rhythms of rest - more than just sleep - that you can implement so you can begin to live with less stress, more energy, and truly make your healthiest decisions consistently. 

Grab your Bible and a notebook and let’s get into it! 

I pray you are blessed and encouraged by this episode as you journey forward living healthy and empowered by the grace of God and all for His glory!
