Gems of Knowledge

For over a year now, I’ve had the privilege of meeting you here each day for 5 Minutes with God. But beginning today, I’m going to practice something God has been reminding me is important too:

Rest.

My husband and I are taking a much-needed vacation September 19–27, and I initially thought I needed to write eight extra devotionals before I left so no day would be missed.

Then I realized I was about to stress myself out preparing for a vacation that’s supposed to help me rest. 😂

So instead, I’m giving myself permission to take a little Sabbath from writing and simply enjoy this time with my husband and with God.

5 Minutes with God will return after I get home, and we’ll pick right back up where we left off.

Thank you for reading these devotionals, sharing them, and spending these few minutes with God each day. It means more to me than you know.

And maybe this is your reminder too: Sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do is stop, rest, and enjoy the life God has given us.

I’ll see you when I get back! ❤️💎
