Hiatus

Seeking rest has been more than just a blog topic: it has become an opportunity for me to reevaluate what I truly prioritize in my life, as well as to realize what ways I have allowed the world to take me captive through distracting me. One way that this has been very present is in the way that I have allowed the things I have to get done pull me away from doing the good work of Christ. Even the good and lovely things I have done have become reduced to a bothersome task to check off my list. Because of this, the blog has slowly become another added stressor, and I have stopped doing it out of a curious heart and more out of an obligation. This is difficult, because I never want studying God’s word and learning from it to feel like a chore.

Because of this, I have decided to take a hiatus from the blog. For the last four years, I have consistently posted every other week, and as beautiful of an experience as it has been, I am in a very different stage of life than I was in when I began this my sophomore year of high school. I have begun to learn how to let things go to be able to put my whole heart into my top priorities, and I unfortunately had to face that this cannot always be a priority. I hope to continue posting, simply on a less consistent basis. I will instead be doing so as I feel led, writing things that are on my heart or studying out things that I feel convicted of.

Thank you to all of you that have joined me at any point in this adventure; your support means the world. This blog has been a milestone of my growth and has allowed me to learn so much about myself. I hope to come back soon feeling refreshed and ready to learn, but ultimately I need to fix my eyes back on my God and rest in Him instead of trying to prove myself through working myself past my limits. The Lord is good, He always has been, and He always will be. Praise be to the One who saved my life!
