21 Days of Wonder: 'Rest' #LIVEWONDERSTRUCK

From Margaret Feinberg:

*Apart from rest, we can sleep through the wonders of God. *

Though your schedule may be full, consider what you can do today to imbibe rest
as one of God’s greatest gifts.
Perhaps you can sneak in a catnap. Or allow your eyes to rest during the midafternoon.
Or climb into bed an hour early.
Look for a few minutes when you can just rest—
allowing your mind and body and emotions to recalibrate. 

Drink in rest to awaken more fully to the wonders of God all around. [Tweet this] 

Share with others what you experience through rest.

For me?  

Rest allows restoration.  Body, mind, spirit.
Renewal. Refreshment.
Balance and equanimity.
Living with the sound mind God offers rather than stress/worry.
Rest provides margin.  Room for Peace to increase.

Awareness of God's Presence.

And when God is present, all that God is, is present...

Love, Joy, because we know that it's in God's Presence there is 

fullness of joy!

Everything we need is Present.  God is I AM.

I AM = whatever you need. And God knows exactly what we need!

We just need to give time in God's Presence to receive.

To hear God's heart speaking Life into our heart.

HIGHLY recommended, I give 'Rest' a 5* rating!

My own spirit resonates once more

with the reminders of Truth 

Psalm 43:3

Amplified Bible (AMP)

^"O send out Your Light and Your Truth, 

let them lead me; 

let them bring me to Your holy hill and to Your dwelling."

to Your Presence, lead us O God...

~ How to Be a Star ~

from Ann's post 

"When You Feel Like Everyone is Bigger Better Smarter... 

{or 'How to Be a Star'}

In a world of reaching, how do you rest? In a culture of numbers how do you kneel? In a world of ladders how do you go lower?

Who wants the love of a Messiah more than the lauding of men?

When the world strives — the wise still. It’s the only way to feel God’s embrace.

The whole world could compete to be heard and esteemed
and known and get ahead. 

She didn’t have to. 

She could breathe deep and feel all of  her

filling with this calm sea of peace.

You can give up the need to compete in the world —
when you accept being complete in Christ.

Sometimes the way to win is to never enter the race.

There’s no need to keep up with the Jonses’
when you are keeping company with Jesus.

...in hiddeness, we are held.

She needn’t be heard…. because she was known.

She could see it all above her — How the stars are always small…

Faith is an Open Door ~

Every Wednesday, at A Holy Experience, we Walk with Him, 

posting a spiritual practice that draws us nearer to God's heart.

For the next two weeks…  might we explore: The Practice of Faith… 

What does it look like to believe? How do you practice your faith day to day?

How do you share that faith, deepen faith in Christ, 

live that faith out in the midst of fears?

for me, a faith-filled life is living life with an open door.

open to God, open to others, open to opportunities.

however they may come...

interruptions, God appointments, surprise connxns.

today, wherever we may have closed out life,

closed out faith,

closed out God,

 may we begin to open that door once again...

*be generous with your lives  opening up to others, 
you'll prompt people to open up with God  
generous Father in heaven.* Mt 5.15 The Message

now it's your turn ~

The whole community looks forward to your prayerful reflections, stories, ideas….
