I would love to focus and meditate on some of the things that were touched on in the comments and cannot get it through my library. Buying one was not an option for me right now and I did not want to request a book this time around also.....It would be a blessing to my hurried heart....kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07022708600437402598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2175925378638139887.post-50451104939266308282010-12-22T12:40:30.227-06:002010-12-22T12:40:30.227-06:00So... any word on the new book girls? :-)

Thank you SO MUCH for this book club!!! Angie & Jess, you two are such a blessing! :0)<br /><br />So many things in this book and in your videos really touched my heart, but the thing that most sticks out to me (and is kinda, I think, the synopsis for the whole book) is the bottom of page 32:<br /><br />"If we forget to rest we will work too hard and forget our more tender mercies, forget those we love, forget our children and our natural wonder. God says: Please, don't. It is a waste of a tremendous gift I have given you. If you knew the value of your life, you would not waste a single breath. So I give you this commandment: Remember to rest. This is not a life-style suggestions, but a commandment--as important as not stealing, not murdering, or not lying."<br /><br />So amazing. <br /><br />Thank You, God, for this amazing reminder!<br /><br />Praying for Jess, and thank you two again! You are awesome. :0)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04115217050499300776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2175925378638139887.post-33512743745985011562010-11-30T16:57:07.085-06:002010-11-30T16:57:07.085-06:00Awesome!

I find it hard to just let things go, I need to be moving or else. <br /><br />As far as stuff goes...well, I have been having a problem with that as well. I have a nice size home and find that I don't want or need half the stuff we have in it and it is beginning to make me crazy. I feel like I have been a poor steward of God's money and that is not what He intended me to do with it. <br /><br />Thanks so much for all the videos. This was the first book that I actually followed week by week with. Usually, I'm late or don't have time to sit and watch.<br /><br />Thanks so much and can't wait for the next book!!<br /><br />KimberlyKimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14728874764173919561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2175925378638139887.post-35427267902732622792010-11-26T19:53:43.830-06:002010-11-26T19:53:43.830-06:00oh my!

You handled this video with such grace and beauty!<br /><br />I do the same thing... when things aren't "done" in my mind... I can't seem to let my mind and heart "turn off". Such bondage we put ourselves in huh! <br /><br />REST REST REST! :-) Thank you.<br /><br />I'm hoping that a certain book will be the next choice... anything to do with gifts????

Angie, you did a great job with this last chapter. I share some of those same feelings about feeling lazy and useless when having Sabbath moments. I feel that if I'm not doing housework or cooking providing somehow for the family whether they're in the house or not, that I'm not a good mother. Struggling with the amount of time I have been in Sabbath. My kids are all out of the house now 1 married, 1 lives on her own and my son is away at college. But I still struggle with this. I know it's a transition time for hubby and I with the kids gone.<br /><br />One sentence you didn't mention that really is helping me is in the chapter "The Way of Enough" - bottom of pg 202 ~ "At rest, we may be surprised how, even in the driest places, we are quickly filled to sufficiency by the multitude of gratuitous offerings that arise in a single Sabbath afternoon". I love this statement ~ so each day I go to the word. The scriptures are jumping out at me like never before. Thank you for this book and for the two of you who have graciously given up your time to bring it into our homes and hearts.patricia ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770629152908260648noreply@blogger.com
