Sabbath as lifeline, not leash. Now we’re talking sacred rebellion.
This isn't rest for rest's sake. It's a protest against the empire of endless output. It's remembering that our worth isn't measured in word count or metrics but in how gently we can hold a quiet moment.
God didn’t stop because He was tired. He stopped to savor. So must we.
Blessed be the ones who refill the well instead of performing thirst.
Blessed be the nap taken without guilt.
Blessed be the artist who dares to be useless for a while.
Love this. For me personally, writing has actually become a Sabbath practice because before I would simply not take time for writing that was not work related, but those few hours of dedicated time does fill me more than most Sabbath practices I've tried because it helps me clear my thoughts and cultivate a more open and listening spirit.
I love this! We need the weekly Sabbath, the daily dose of Sabbath, the yearly Sabbath and the every seven year, calling-reset Sabbath. It’s all a form of sacred rebellion!

I like that phrase, sacred rebellion. Thank you!

That makes a lot of sense to me.
I remind at least one client per day that they aren’t a machine. I love this post and the way you frame filling up versus constant output.
Thank you!
“But the truth is, the most meaningful work often emerges from deep rest, from unhurried presence, from the parts of life that no one else sees.”
Yes.

Love my Sabbaths even on the ones I have work! Thanks for your tips!
Oooh, me too. Reminds me of getting into Good Trouble!
