What do you think about the word REST? When I think about rest I think about my mind, my body and my soul. In order to gain rest in each of these areas, my mind immediately goes to nature, breathing in fresh air, viewing the trees, streams, animals, mountains and valleys! This type of environment connects me so deeply with myself, my Lord and yet, I feel so free! Similar to how I feel when dancing!

When was the last time you RESTED? In this type of environment, I require a bit of this weekly. So, this weekend I am venturing out of Kansas City and into the wilderness with friends and family. I look forward to disconnecting from the daily grind and reconnecting with what is important!

How are you going to be INTENTIONAL about REST moving forward? Whew, this is a tough question but one that requires thought and action. While looking at my weekly schedule, I am going to be INTENTIONAL about scheduling time for REST in 2023. This includes dancing, hiking, kayaking, and lots of laughter. If you see me, ask me about these actions!
