249. The Last One (for now)

<p>Who needs rest from creating?</p> <p>In the beginning, God didn&#39;t just rest from work but He rested from creating. </p> <p>After burn out,  Lisa-Jo and Christie wrap their arms around us and give us grace to pause.  Whether you&#39;re entering a season of creation or needing a break from creating we can all relate.</p> <p>Sometimes a season calls for a stop. for a pause. for less. You might not need anything new but need to revisit and savor what you already have. </p> <p>&#34;Maybe I don&#39;t need something new.  Maybe what I need is already here and I need to slow down and savor it.&#34; - Christie Purifoy</p> <p>Do we lose momentum in our life if we rest? </p> <div>Feeling obliged to keep going but you want to stop? <br/> <div>Which alternative to saying &#34;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cr9xECrLn-r/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D" rel="nofollow">I Did Nothing</a>&#34; (thanks to Chalkboard Mag) resonates with you?  <p>God is telling Christie and Lisa-Jo to pause.  <em>Out of the Ordinary</em> will be going on sabbatical for the remainder of 2023.</p> <p>Christie and Lisa-Jo both have books coming out in the spring 2024! <em>Out of the Ordinary</em> podcast will return again in 2024 with new episodes!!
