I sure do love Sunday. And I’ve not always been great about resting on Sunday.
Christians observe the Sabbath on Sunday. The Hebrew word for Sabbath is shabbat. Shabbat means rest or ceasing.
So in these 31 days, I’ll be resting from the posts on Sunday. Using the white space there to see all that is good and letting God move in that space. To stop striving and find contentment. Clear the clutter from my space and my heart.
God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. – Genesis 1:31-2:2
I’m sharing some of my Instagram photos from this week. You can follow me there!
There was so much good this week.
Hayes has grown so much from his speech therapy. His improvements and time with our awesome speech therapist just make me so happy! And I know that he is so much less frustrated.
I had a great morning with a dear friend who wasn’t feeling well and needed some help taking care of her baby while my babies were at school. That was possible because I made space for it.
Our church choir is preparing Christmas music already. I love everything about the hour that I spend on Wednesday nights worshiping and rehearsing. It’s a commitment that I absolutely love. It a calling.
I’ve loved the opportunity to read so many other #31Days posts this month. If you want some beautiful reading today, check out Jessi’s, Ellen’s, and Amanda’s posts.
I met a new friend at the park this week and had so much fun with her!
Our church hosted parents night out last night, and we enjoyed a really fun night out with friends while our kids were loved on at church. It was a much-needed double date with good friends. True soul food.
And we had a great family Saturday yesterday. Sweet sweet time.
What was the good in your week? Have you been allowing space for God to move?
This post is the 6th in a series called 31 Days of Creating White Space. You can read all of the posts here.
Love, love that polkadot mug! Where is it from?
Hi! The mug is from NS Pottery. She had an adorable Etsy shop!
I’ve really enjoyed seeing your pictures on Instagram this week! Your little guys are way too cute! It’s a great feeling to see great results from Speech Therapy. My middle daughter sees a ST once a week and it’s a big blessing to see the progress that she’s making. Looking forward to reading more about White Space. =)
Erin, I posted a comment on IG, but just wanted to say again how much I am loving this series. I have seriously been battling the need for white space in world that really doesn’t seem to allow for it. Loved all your pictures this weekend- pumpkin picking is on our to do list very soon!
I used to adore my post church, post lunch Sunday afternoon nap pre-child. I need to bring it back!
