meant to exist in balance. I have discovered that you cannot place your life on one side of the scales and your work on the other and expect to experience any level of satisfaction. Work and life cannot be balanced, but they can function in harmony. Through integration of the two, you can experience greater freedom, peace, and satisfaction. They can coexist without the tension of one being more worthy or important than the other. They can reside in a place of quiet confidence, trust, and rest.

For the past two years, I have shared with thousands of people through my book Sacred Rest about how they can get the rest they need. I would be remiss if I do not also share the reason why rest is not just for your personal benefit. It is part of the preparation for you to do the deeper work of serving God and others well. Rest is how God sensitizes us to the sacred offering within our work.
