Yes, it could and is. I am so weary of so much, yet the never-ending beat goes on and on.. I'm relentlessly pursuing rest where I can find it, even if only in my head some days.
One of my favorites of yours, Sara ❤️ Especially as I am currently collapsed on the couch in exhaustion a mere few weeks away from childbirth and worn thin from this pandemic. Much gratitude for your poetry, soul, and connection to His heart.
Oh wow! Just now getting to read this. Exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for your vulnerability and speaking to my heart. I appreciate this so so much.
Thank you for this… “And while taking this way is not nearly as flashy as winning the race and reaching your splits, it is often the kind of low, servant road that unlocks the deeply-safe-and-rooted connect with God we want more than anything else.”
What does it look like to take this into our goals? Take it into our prayers of what God has called us to? Why do I tend to go towards the flashy ending? What if He is actually calling us to the kind of low servant road? How do we train our hearts to value this kind of race?
Thank you Sara for putting into words how so many of us feel. We might have felt this way all last year and didn't realize what it was or we might still be feeling this way. I know I am and I appreciate your thoughts. We have so many enemies coming against us at the present time whether it be emotional, mental, physical, spiritual or just plain old tiredness. We have to reach out to God for His strength and His power to get us through each day. The verse that gets me through is Psalm 44:5 in the NLT version. God is our sustainability. Keep looking up.
So good! THANK YOU! Needing to give myself permission sometimes...to REST! And yet...isn't that what we need...surrendering in the moments...isn't giving in or quitting...but truly could be called RESTING in Him.
Sara, wow. Exactly what I was feeling and denying today. I’m truly exhausted and whole pruning out the unnecessary recently, I still feel that ache of true weariness. Yes, I’m pregnant with our fourth, but it encompasses more than just pregnancy tiredness. Thank you for putting it into words for me today
"feeling and denying" ... I can relate. Pausing for a minute to pray for you, Lucy. I have been in your shoes, pregnant and with a tiredness that encompasses more than just pregnancy (if it's possible!)

that's right, isn't it, the beat keeps going ... when we thought it might stop after 2020 ... the beat keeps going
Thank you - so so much. This message hit to the very core of where I am right now. Thank you for sharing. I am grateful for you.
I'm so glad it blessed you Catherine

wow -- another baby?! But, yes, that exhaustion (+ pandemic) is real!
So appreciate this, Sara.
