Ironically today is my day of rest & Day 1 of the challenge I gave myself.
I’ve learned that you can work 7 days a week for yourself. OR work 6 days a week for the Lord, take a day of rest for worshipping, relaxation, rejuvenation and God will help you get WAY more done in 6 days than you could ever get done in 7 days on your own!
And on the 7th day He rested.
By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. (Genesis 2:2 NIV)
It’s amazing that entrepreneurs leave 8-5 or 9-5 jobs working for someone else, to work from eyes open to eyes closed!!
I appreciate my husband insisting that we take Sunday’s to rest and do NO work or if we’re traveling for work or there is an extreme circumstance, that we take a different day. I can be a borderline workaholic when I get into a groove. The last couple years as a Mompreneur, I really have to get creative working in the nooks & crannies of my life. When my husband John started his auction business two years ago, I was so proud of him for closing the auction yard and office on Sunday and our staff don’t work that day either.
When you start a business or are a business owner, you get to develop your core values. This is a big one for our family that has become a focus. A God centered business, family, marriage, and life.
If you work in an industry that your job / shift requires you to work on Sundays, my prayer is that you rest on your day off – whatever day of the week that may be! Taking a day of rest, is a choice.
Happy Sunday!
