A God-Prescribed Day of Rest

A God-Prescribed Day of Rest

Sabbath. That one word brings peace and rest to my often-weary soul. I grew up in a home that celebrated Sabbath from sundown to sundown, a 24-hour period of time. It was time we set apart each week for worship with our church family, fellowship with our friends and family, and enjoyment of God’s creation. I loved Sabbath as a kid, but it wasn’t until college that I truly valued the principle that God laid out in the fourth commandment. The fourth commandment begins with the word “remember.” Unlike the other commandments that begin with “you shall …”, I believe…

So, what's your perspective?

Positive Perspective, Living Blessed

A word that has stuck with me this entire year has been “perspective.” There is so much depth to this word. Our perspective shapes how we interact with people, how we cope with situations, and ultimately how we relate to God. Do we look at things in a negative or positive light?

And in two years I’m sure I’ll begin receiving college graduation announcements as my first group of mentees will celebrate another milestone in their lives as they prepare to launch into the workforce.

The Problem with Trying to Measure Up

  Have you ever noticed how we are programmed from a young age to measure success? From grades to Student of the Month to MVP, during our school years we are taught to celebrate the best and brightest. When we enter college, scholarships are awarded to the smartest students and top internships are granted to the highest achievers.
