Carrie Gall found herself in a doctor's office.

He said, Carrie, you were never designed to work 24-7.

God didn't design you that way. I said, oh, no, no, no, you don't understand. I'm not working.

I'm ministering, and I love it. And if you could just get me back to the place where I want to be, then I can re-engage

in what I want to do. And this godly believing doctor looked at me and he said, Carrie,

the Sabbath is not a suggestion. This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss

Wogamuth, author of A Place of Quiet Rest, for Tuesday, July 25th, 2017.

Yesterday, guest teacher Carrie Gall described a ball and chain type of guilt and condemnation

she was pulling around. Today, she'll pick the story back up. She sensed

that the Lord was calling her to take a break from busyness and spend a day alone with him,

but she was reluctant. Nancy will set up today's teaching, but first, she's sharing something

that happened just before coming into the recording session.

Somebody came into my office and said, there's a young man out in the lobby who'd like to speak with you,

and then they told me his name, this is the son that I have known almost all his life of some dear friends of my family,

but I haven't seen him in probably 20 years. And he's got a sales job

and was traveling through and realized I lived in this area and stopped by to see if he could say

hello. And I just was astounded. So amazing to hear this young man. Well, he's not as young as he used to

be. He's younger than I am, and share how, he grew up,

he was a missionary kid, grew up in a Christian home, solid Christian home, strong church background,

went to Christian college, and I haven't really known him in his adult life, so I didn't know where he was spiritually,

but he just, we talked for five minutes, and he said within just minutes of connecting,

I mean, we just had, I can't believe it's so good to see you.
