What if what matters most
is neither the journey
nor the destination
but who I am becoming as i go
and who i will be when i arrive?

When we don’t feel as though we have enough, we work beyond every healthy capacity to ensure we have more.
Overwork is a signal to the degree to which we don't believe we're taken care of by God.
Rest is a declaration of our trust in God's abundance. That he's enough for us
Through the example of how Jesus lived his day to day life and through the commandment of the Sabbath in the scripture, we see an invitation to be proactive in our pursuit of rest.
Most live in a reactive posture only resting when we think we need it. This simply doesn't work.
Perhaps the beauty and peace we are all looking for in our life does not come from a black and white binary narrative, but rather from the spectrum of color that complexity, mystery, and paradox offers us.
To make a regular habit of silence and listening (to God & others) will forge a pathway to a deep knowing of belovedness.
For many, the spiritual journey is one from codependency (a reliance on outside forces to form a sense of identity) to contemplation (a sense of identity formed from the divine within)
