Soul Rest is a little guide to help women find a personal retreat in the middle of their lives. It is written to be done over a weekend, but the practices in it can be taken out and done in quick moments or stolen hours. The purpose of this work is to encourage women to breathe, to rest, and to embrace the wholeness and enoughness that we find in God.
Dear Sister:
This little guide is just for you. I know that you’re tired and stressed and up to your eyeballs in diapers and dirty laundry that seem to multiply if you turn your back. I’m SO there. In fact, as I was trying to jot down my ideas for this ebook one baby snuck into my bathroom and splashed in the toilet, and the other one climbed into bed so she could write with me. There was a lot of stopping, starting, and deep breathing.
I know you understand how I feel, and that’s why you need to retreat. There’s no shame or weakness in that, none at all. Self care is biblical. Even Jesus withdrew for times of quiet reflection. Life is busy and loud and urgent, and the still small voice is, well, so very small. All the things we love, our children, our homes, our church, our community, our jobs, can completely smother that quiet whisper before we even miss it.
