Moms…Yes, you can cultivate a more restful heart!

Life might be crazy. But Jesus says, “Come to Me, and I will give you rest.” So rest must be possible! Each post is a “seed” of rest. Each seed will be a short, practical, Biblically-based tip to cultivate rest. If you will plant the seed, God will do His supernatural work to make it grow. Over time, cultivating simple seeds or rest will become habit. You will realize that your heart is becoming more restful.
