Rest in the Running: A Year of Growing Deep and Wide (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781736084427)

How can we know we're getting somewhere when we feel like we're running in place? And, if we are getting somewhere, how do we know we're going in the right direction?

We abide. Because God knows we're headed to a beautiful place, and He has wisdom for us every step of the way.

In volume one of Abide: A Year of Growing Deep and Wide, we find rest in our running.

We take a break from spinning our wheels - no more settling for less because we're fighting fear and anxiety of the unknown, and no more striving for control. Because control is not power - surrender and faith are. And He brings those as we abide.

We learn that we're stronger when we know how weak we are without Him. We go farther by slowing down in strategic, deliberate ways. We learn to breathe when we feel like we're drowning. And we stop getting ourselves into hot water, and we create a culture of rest and refilling, instead.

We rest in the running when we prioritize His presence over our production...and somehow we find that the fruit we bear is bigger and healthier as a result.
