Bless you, Jenna. Listening to the call to rest is radical. I have never regretted it. May the Lord refresh you with his living water, sister.

I'm proud of you Jenna! Being able to recognize and take these steps at this formative time in your twenties is really important for all areas of life now & into the future. I know and trust it will be a worthwhile choice to slow down, take a break, and create space to just be. Cheering you on always!

Such a lovely display of humility and truly walking in step with the Lord!! I hope you feel encouraged that God is teaching you rather than discouraged by the change. (Also, the “diva down” meme made me LAUGH OUT LOUD)

Yes—He is being so gentle and invitational! I appreciate you noticing that I may be feeling that way, though, very perceptive :)

You are in the very same place many of us are in. These days when I think of something new and exciting the Lord advises me "stay in your lane". In other words He is appreciative that I am following His call in what I already do but wants me to moderate the effort so as to provide me time to rest, to become better rested and strengthened. I sense there are challenging times comming and He wants us prepared and we'll rested for when it comes.

Wise post.

Blessings
