 Have you ever felt a powerful nudge to slow down, even when your instinct is to keep pushing forward? 

In this episode, I share my personal reflections on slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and trusting in the unseen work happening beneath the surface. This season, I've felt a deep calling from God to embrace rest, resist the urge to rush back to work, and focus on writing a book that has been growing inside me for a few years.

"Rest and write, write and rest. I hear this message everywhere, and it's a challenge for my high-achieving nature. But I'm learning to trust in the process and the timing."

Join me as I explore:

  • The importance of recognizing and following a calling, even when it feels counterintuitive.
  • The struggle between the drive to achieve and the need to rest.
  • Insights on how trusting in the unseen work can lead to a bountiful harvest.
  • Reflections on my family's farming roots and the lessons they offer about faith and patience.
  • The exciting journey of writing my book on discovering your calling, inspired by my personal experiences and professional insights.

When you listen to this conversation, you'll gain inspiration to:

  • Understand the significance of seasonal rest and its impact on your overall well-being.
  • Reflect on your calling and the importance of listening to inner guidance.
  • Letting go of the resistance to God's whispers to do something
  • Discover how slowing down can lead to greater clarity and productivity in the long run.
  • Appreciate the balance between work and rest in achieving long-term goals.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. I hope my story encourages you to embrace your own season of rest and renewal, and to trust in the process of growth that happens beneath the surface.
