21 Days of Rest Challenge {Finding Spiritual Whitespace}

BonnieGray_WhitespaceBadge_250

 

This book is for you. Uncover your story. Take the journey to rest in my memoir-driven guidebook “Finding Spiritual Whitespace”.

To celebrate the release of my new memoir-driven guidebook Finding Spiritual Whitespace: Awakening Your Soul To Rest, I’m launching a special June Blog Tour Series called 21 Days of Rest: Finding Spiritual Whitespace.

I’ll be serving up daily Whitespace Prompts to inspire you on the journey to find rest —

to slow down and breathe,  

to feed your soul,

to make room for you, for beauty, for God and rest.

Let’s explore what rest looks like in your life.  Let’s be kindreds.

God after all is an Artist. And we are his works of art.

Be sure to visit the blog FaithBarista.com during June 1 – June 21 for 21 Days of Rest.

Pull up a chair. You’ll find a quiet space here for you and me.

 “For we are God’s poeima (the Greek word from which we derive the word “poem”) prepared beforehand…” Eph. 2:10

“Come to me, all those who are weary laden and I will give you rest.”  Matt. 11:28
