"In the midst of all the doing, we forget the needful thing. We may sit at His feet; we may begin our day with prayer, Bible reading, and supplication, but is our teaching and mothering transformed by it? Do we really trust Him? Do we live each day from a state of rest? Our job is not to be successful...it's faithfulness He wants. God is good! He isn't going to let us pour out our hearts for our children only to be left choking on the dust of our mistakes....but we must approach the Holy Spirit every single day asking Him to lead us and to quiet our anxious souls so that we can really bless our children - not with shiny curriculum or perfect lesson plans, but rather with purposeful, restful spirits...
The daily mundane is holy ground because the ordinary tasks of a monotonous Monday are where we meet our Maker."
Sarah MacKenzie - Teaching from Rest
