Devotional Monday: Finding Rest

Ever since starting this blog and weekly taking the time to sit down and reflect on what I have been learning through my own personal devotional time on "Devotional Monday." The one word that keeps coming up in my devotional is rest. The other day my devotional was talking about companionship and how we should find it in God. It said, "The way of the souls transformation is the way of Divine Companionship. Not so much the asking me to make you this or that but the living with me, thinking of me, talking to me--thus you grow like me. Love me. Rest in Me. Joy in me". --After reading this I was once again reminded of the importance of finding rest in God each and every day. Matthew 11:28-30 (which is the foundation verse of this blog) reminds me that God always meets us right where we are at no matter what we are going through. It also reminds me that not only does he meet us wherever we are but that in him we find rest for our souls. So sisters, as you are going throughout your week, i encourage you to take that time out of your day to rest in him. Take the words of Matthew 11:28-30 to heart, let them resonate in your heart each day.

If you've ever heard a group of people share their testimonies, a lot of them have a common thread: brokenness. A lot of now believers had to come to a very low point in their lives before they had their breaking moment of calling out to Jesus. Have you ever wondered why that is? Why is it that so many of us have to hit rock bottom before we'll realize our infinite need for a Savior? I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know that in my darkest moments, I've seen the Lord hand out grace and turn brokenness into beauty. We all tend t...

Finding Comfort in the "Waiting Room"

Founders Note: Today's post is written by our new friend Brooke. Her blog is called "Living as a Single Gal". (you can find the link below) We've just discovered Brooke's blog and we look forward to unwrapping more of the great wisdom she has to share. Without further ado, here is her post... Imagine, if you will, that you are in a waiting room. The room is crowded; people standing, people on chairs, people sitting on the floor; this room is totally packed full. And all of these people are waiting. Waiting for what you may ask? That’s simple; love. You are standing in a corner with some of your girlfriends having some laughs. Then one of them gets called out of the room. Then another. Then another; another one bites the dust. One by one all of your single girlfriends are leaving the waiting room and finding true love. Not only are your friends leaving you, but the rest room seems to empty out significantly. And then there’s you. --...
