Can I be honest? Rest is a major struggle for me. In fact I'd like to consider myself the anti-expert of rest. Nothing about rest is easy, natural or even comfortable for me. I have believed the lie that rest is earned not gifted for a long, long time.

What's the root of that? Why do I feel a constant need to preform and seek approval? What places and spaces am I finding my worth in that keeps me from rest? Join me by tuning into this episode and maybe, just maybe, we can figure this out together.

In this four part series we will learn how to reset our capacity and not just find temporary rest but live from a lasting place of it.

Have you ever experienced an ‘emotional check point’? A déjà vu moment of sorts that totally catches you off guard? Something triggers a memory from your past and it all comes flooding back?

I was traveling home recently and I had an emotional check point hit me like a brick wall. The old feelings, stress, anxiety, heaviness and weight of life in that season came flooding back. It took everything I had to breathe and pray through the moment.

Moments later I was in the sky looking out my window with tears streaming down my cheeks. I let myself feel that moment but there was more. I couldn’t help but see the growth and the woman I’ve become over the last 3 years since that day. I couldn’t help but wonder what my 30,000 foot view of my life looked like? 

Listen now to hear me talk about that emotional check point, that although hard, reminded me that God never leaves us for nothing and that He’s making us into something.

What dream have you hidden? You know, the one that you’ve tried to forget about? The one you’ve stopped telling others or maybe even yourself because it hurts too much to have it realized but not met? That dream that no matter the doing, distractions and best efforts to ignore, it remains, buried but still alive?

It’s so easy to hide the desires of our heart but we can’t from our Creator. He already knows. So what would happen if we stop hiding from ourselves and we start believing in advance what God will make sense of in reverse?

Listen in now to hear Becky remind us why it's important to keep telling ourselves our story, trust in the timing and how foresight can be 20/20 as we do the hardest thing.
