Hi, I'm Susie Larson. Thanks for listening to this podcast from Susie Larson Live.

You're listening to an encore presentation of Susie Larson Lime.

Welcome to Susie Larson Live. Always honored to get to spend this time with you.

In fact, I look forward to bringing you conversations every single day that hopefully inspire you in your faith walk, that deepen your understanding of God's amazing amazing word and that heightens your awareness of

his presence in your life. Well, my guest today writes this, rest is not for weaklings. Hear that again,

rest is not for weaklings. Howing out space for rest is actually work. Finding time for rest is the

hand and feet of the promises we long to claim. It means saying no. It means

having limits within ourselves. It means having limits with others. And it takes courage to rest in

the midst of an outcome-driven society. It takes strength to walk away from good in pursuit of better.

But healing occurs when we allow ourselves a time, space, and

grace to be in the presence of God in the middle of our busy lives. What a word and due season

we've got for you today. Dr. Sandra Dalton Smith joins me today. Had her on, I want to say two,

three months ago, and was so incredibly inspired by the conversation. I'm like, we're not done yet. You got to come

back. Her book is titled Sacred Rest, recover your life, renew your energy, restore your sanity.

And this, you know, we've talked about rest, the rhythm of rest. And you know, I care a lot

about life rhythm and wellness and wholeness. I covered a lot. But this, I've read a lot of books.

This one's so different because first of all, Dr. I covered a lot. But this, I've read a lot of books. This one's so different

because, first of all, Dr. Sandra is an MD. And second of all, she says, it depends on,

depending on the kind of tired you are, depends on the kind of rest you've need. It's so obvious,

but I've never heard anybody say it before. So I can't wait for you to hear from her.

A couple quick announcements before we get her on one. I wrote a blog post on our Faith Radio site

called Unselfish Self Care. And this is very pertinent to today's topic. So be sure to check it out
