#114b - Restful Work Series - Episode #3: Understanding Your Relationship with Money

07/15/22 • 32 min

If there's one thing I've learned about my work and money, it's this:
There is no rest in striving.
Working harder to make more money is not only exhausting, it’s never-ending.

There will always be more reasons to make more money.

There will always be more things to buy materially, and even more opportunities to give generously.

Is there a way to live in complete contentment with the money you’re currently making (or not making) in order for your work to be restful and rewarding?

I think so, but for me, it only can with God's help.

In episode #3 of the Restful Work Series, I'm offering three questions to ask and sit with God about regarding your relationship with money. If you're feeling frustrated about not having as much money as you desire right now, I think this episode may be for you.
I also invite you to join my podcast club in Patreon: the Refreshed Moms Sabbath Rest Community.
The #1 community for mom leaders who desire to create a weekly 24-hour sabbath rest practice in order to sustain the work they feel called to do.

If you feel like God has called you to do important work while you’re in a season of motherhood, but the rigor of leadership needed to accomplish it all is feeling like too much, then this community is for you.

#113b - Restful Work Series - Episode #2: Understanding Your Capacity

In episode 1 of this series, I talked about understanding your time and that the fact that it is finite and limited. Each day has 24 hours to work with, and one day our days will literally be complete.
Capacity - although limited as well - has another characteristic to consider, which is that it changes.
Day by day.
Season by season.
Year by year.
We don't have the same productive energy all the time, because our productivity is impacted by both foreseen and unexpected variables - all the time.
So how do we know whether we should push through depleting capacity in order to get work done or to recognize we are running on (physical, mental, emotional or spiritual ) fumes and need to pause to honor our human limits (and rest) instead?
Oh it can be a tangled web of capacity considerations as we lead in multiple roles each day, but I believe we can become self-aware enough to both get good work done and rest well.
And I'm sharing my thoughts about it in this episode.

#115b - Restful Work Series - Episode #4: Understanding Your Need for Help

Listen to me: You Need Help.
Yes you do.
I have yet to find a mom who is leading in multiple areas of life (work, business, ministry, homeschool, etc.) who doesn't need help in some kind of way.
But the problem is, we're not very good about asking for it.
We're really good with going down with the ship, but we're challenged when it comes to accepting a life vest.
It's a problem.
Here's the thing: You were not created to go at it alone. You're not even built for it.
YOU. NEED. HELP.
And sometimes, you're the one who is giving the help. It's a beautiful rhythm that God anticipated his creation would experience, and his desire is for us to not have one need among us (can you even fathom this?).
There was a time where I thought the modern church could never live up to the call of supportive, helpful community, but my heart is different now. It is possible. And in this last episode of the Restful Work Series, I'm sharing my thoughts on why you need help in order to do the very work God is requiring of you - as a mom, as a leader, as a women who loves Jesus.
