Oh, yes–being liberated from guilt and frustration is a huge benefit of understanding our individual calls from God instead of thinking we have to heed our own plus everyone else’s. It’s still a hard lesson for me to master, but I hope I’m getting there too. Don’t want too many barnacles to collect on the bottom. 🙂 Great analogy.

In reply to June. I agree with you, June. Somehow along the way we've gotten it into our minds that it's lazy to rest, but God has insisted on rest since the beginning. Heading over to read your post now....

In reply to Lyli @ 3-D Lessons for Life. It was an easy read, and it goes by before you know it. It's not necessarily anything you don't already know, but just seeing it all in one place and with the definite spiritual mindset makes it a worthwhile read. Hope Bruce is enjoying the audiobook!

In reply to Betty Draper. It's so nice to hear someone actually say that they are not too busy, Betty! I think it's a goal worth striving for, for all of us.

“We do more than God expects of us” – this used to be a problem until I started to understand that I wasn’t called to do everything, I was only called to do what God designed me for. It liberated me from not only busyness but much guilt and frustration.
Wonderful summary! I think we all need to evaluate our commitments and “whys” – kind of like scrubbing barnacles off boat bottoms!

Thanks for sharing about this book, Lisa. It’s next on my list to download from Amazon! I recently did a post about refreshment. The enemy certainly has most of us convinced that resting and feeding one’s soul is bad. I think that this is probably the biggest area in our lives that we need to re-condition & re-align into God’s perspective. Have a blessed, refreshing weekend!

Lisa, I bought the audio book version for Bruce as a Father’s Day gift. Loved reading your review and am thinking I may need to read it now.

Thanks for linking up at Thought-Provoking Thursday! 🙂

Right now I am not too busy and it does feel pretty good. I don’t want to waste this not so busy time though so your points were great for this time of my life.

In reply to Pamela. Sometimes busyness can't be helped---sounds like you may be in one of those seasons. Nonetheless, yes, we all still need times to sit at the feet of Jesus, even in the midst of it all. It's hard though. Praying for you to meet your deadline, Pamela!

In reply to Trudy. I have to talk to myself like that all the time, Trudy. "Stay in the now." That's a biggie I remind myself of a lot, and amazingly it does make a difference. THIS ONE is always the moment God is in, so this is the moment I want to stay in. Praying for us not to ever feel guilty about resting with God.
