overseas life and faith
When you live in a culture that’s not your own, it takes time to figure out what actually gives you rest.
There are no Target runs, often few (if any) cute coffee shops to journal and process life at, and sometimes no other expats to have “girls night” or just hang out with. Shopping can soon become stressful when someone follows you around the store to help you shop.
It’s easy to neglect rest. Maybe we think everything can’t really get done in only six days. It seems that thought, though, is actually distrust in the way we were created to function…
Sometimes Sabbath means getting out of the house and into nature. Into the great outdoors where we can just Be Still & Know who the Creator is by being in his creation.
