Life is busy. No matter how hard we try to set our schedules or increase our organizational skills, certain tasks fall through the cracks. We're sharing some of the practical ways to find rest in these busy season of life.
As a sat with some friends at Bible study one evening, we were all overwhelmed. Life was busy. No matter how hard we tried to set our schedules or increase our organizational skills, certain tasks fell through the cracks. None of us felt like we were doing anything well. On top of feeling like we were failing, we were simply tired. We all described life like running on a hamster wheel. Running, running, running.
We discussed how we might do some things differently to be more efficient. But eventually, we all concluded that finding rest in that busy season was essential, or each of us in separate ways would burn out. As a group, we decided to look for ways to find rest in the busy season, to share our findings with one another, and to hold one another accountable to pursue the rest needed. Here are some of the practical ways we found rest in that busy season of life.
These practical ways of finding rest during busy seasons helped me to bring better balance into my life. As a result, I was more emotionally, mentally, and spiritually healthy. The Lord taught me a lot about humility during the busy seasons of life. I tend to be prideful and want to live like I can navigate it all on my own. But God, in His kindness and grace, surrounded me with others who obeyed Jesus and believed in the strength of Christian community.
