I was over on iMOM again this week with a post on sticking to a Sabbath in the school year. The tension of needing real soul rest and wanting to be productive and check things off my list is never more real to me than in this season of the year. School is back in session and the level of activity around my house is rapidly escalating.  So today I invite you into my struggle for Sabbath. What does recharging look like in real life? Why is it so hard? I wish I had an answer, but I don’t. What I do have is a few ideas about sabbath—a few lies I’ve believed about rest. Maybe you have believed them, too?

And please do share some ways you find real rest in your daily life.
