Introduction
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28, NKJV).

Isn’t that what you want—rest? Isn’t that what we all want? You want that curl-up-in-a-blanket, put-your-feet-up, sip-hot-cocoa, or snuggle in bed and snore kind of rest. It sounds so good, and you should have it, right? Isn’t that what Jesus meant when He said His yoke is easy? Isn’t that what busy women and moms deserve?

I’m going to tell you, no, that isn’t what He meant and, no, that isn’t what you deserve. He actually meant something much greater than “me time,” and He has called believers away from the measly things we think we deserve.

This book is not a self-help, DIYer on how to find time, make time, and use time. This study is not going to help you supernaturally get all your ducks in a row. This book, however, invites you to come alongside Jesus and His disciples to learn from the Master. You are going to see that, through the believer’s careful tending and thoughtful intention toward knowing the Savior, God delicately places into that believer’s heart the gift of soul rest.

With two small children, a husband, Bible study classes to teach, worship to lead, chores to do, and dreams to pursue, I have often found myself right where you are or, perhaps, have been: tired, frustrated, lonely, and feeling as though everyone else has figured this thing out except me. Weekends away couldn’t fix it; kid-free shopping trips couldn’t fix it; dinner dates and manicures couldn’t fix it.

So, what does? What does provide deep, life-changing, freedom-giving rest? I found that all the “me time” in the world, every amount of self-care, and every last drop of coffee couldn’t give me the rest I needed—my soul was tired, not just my body. As the Lord delicately and graciously pulled my gaze back to Himself and away from myself, I was easing into a life where breathing came naturally again. It’s not always perfect; I still lose sight of Him and of what I am made for. I still get buried under my own expectations. But I am learning, and I want to show you.
​
Come with me and let’s see what our rest in Christ, our soul rest, really looks like, where it comes from, what it accomplishes, and how to get it as we walk, work, and rest alongside our Savior in a journey through moments in the four Gospels.”
