Summary

Show Summary: Do you ever take time to sit in silence? Do you feel like your schedule is too packed full to have time for yourself? When God created the world, He took time to rest, but we often find ourselves running from one thing to the next without a moment to spare. Vivian Mabuni recently took a Sabbatical. During that time, she discovered how her soul was able to internally settle while she spent quiet time with God. Join hosts Vivian Mabuni and Eryn Eddy Adkins for this God Hears Her conversation as they talk through how we can find times in our lives to rest and reflect.

Notes and Quotes:

“God keeps inviting us into this place of, ‘Will you trust me?’ He will lead, and as a sheep, I will follow. And when He says go, I need to go. And when He says stay, I need to stay, and to not run ahead of Him.” —Vivian Mabuni
“Am I prepared to see [God] turn beauty out of pain, and this be a longer road? Or will this be a shorter road where He does a miracle? In that waiting time is a real-time of needing to lay down our will, and trust Him with the outcome.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni
“We can’t determine God based on our circumstances. We need to determine who God is based on His Word. . . God has revealed Himself, and we need to evaluate our circumstances in light of who He is.” —Vivian Mabuni

0:00.0	It's as simple as Psalm 23, the Lord is my shepherd, and he will lead and as a sheep I follow.
0:09.4	And when he says, go, I need to go.
0:12.8	And if he says, stay, I need to stay and not run ahead of him.
0:17.1	And if he says to wait, to wait.
0:20.0	And those times can be really challenging. It's not as simple as
0:24.2	just what I just described when we have to live it out.
0:33.4	You're listening to God Hears Her, a podcast for women where we explore the stunning truth that
0:39.5	God hears you. Join our community of encouraging one another and learning to lean on God through
0:45.4	scripture, story, and conversation at God hearsher.org. God hears her. Seek and she will find.
0:55.8	Erin, I am really excited to have a conversation with you about the experience that I had.
1:02.1	This was last summer.
1:04.4	Okay.
1:05.0	And I took my first sabbatical.
1:08.3	So working for the organization I work for were allowed a sabbatical
1:12.6	every seven years of up to three months. Wow. And I had never taken one up until last year. So I was
1:21.0	way overdue because I've been working for them for 35 years. And sabbatical is similar to the idea of
1:27.2	Sabbath where God on the seventh day,
1:30.6	after he created everything, he set aside a day of rest, that He, God actually rested, declared
1:37.3	everything as good. So fascinating is that the first people, Adam and Eve, their first day of existence was rest. And then from rest,
1:48.4	God had given them the cultural mandate to take care of the animals and to work the ground and
1:55.7	harvest the soil. God had just built this into the system. And so this rhythm of rest is one that God commands his people, you know, so every seven days. So I had been taking, you know, for a good number of years now, I've tried to, like, protect a 24-hour Sabbath. Yeah. So for me, it's been like Saturday. What is a Sabbath?
2:18.8	Sabbath, yeah.
