Happy New Year!! It is 2025 and what better way to start the new year than talking about finding intimacy with God. Join me, Morgan, as we continue in our Weary Mama Series unpacking my book, ⁠Rest for the Weary Mama: Words of Hope and Encouragement for the Worn-Out Mom⁠

The backbone of the book comes from Matthew 11:28-30: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Rest isn't always a physical experience. For the purpose of my book and this episode, the rest I am talking about here is more of a heart and soul rest.

Ch. 6 : Intimacy with God

Main truths:

• God knows each of us personally, individually, and intimately.

• Intimacy with God is vital to finding true rest as a mom. Finding intentional time to spend with God doesn't have to feel like another thing on your to-do list, but like soul-nourishing time with a best friend.

• There is no greater investment of your time than spending time in God's word.

"You cannot pour from an empty cup, so what is filling yours?"

Simple ways to find and create intimacy with God, having a quiet time:

1. Start small
2. Be consistent
3. Don't give up!

Find the full list in chapter 6 of ⁠Rest for the Weary Mama⁠

There is no better time than right now to start reading God's word. God is waiting to spend time with you whenever you are ready.
