AN
AUDIO MESSAGE ABOUT DAILY DEVOTIONALS
FROM OUR FOUNDER, LISA == click stop to discontinue == |
|
-
Do you wake up in the morning and wonder how you're going to get through the day?
-
Do you feel God may have a plan but you're too depressed and spiritually dried up to pray? You wouldn't know where to start?
-
Do you long for just 1 person who actually understands what it's like to live with chronic illness? Someone who knows that even going to Walmart can be a challenge? And someone who also drives around the parking lot 3 times, trying to decide if she should use her disabled placard or not?
-
Do you want to feel refreshed and reminded that God is still in control--even if it seems He's just working under-cover right now?
Welcome to Rest Ministries
daily devotionals where we can provide some refreshment, reminders and
even a few giggles,
for your illness journey. Our daily devotional have been around for years
and is one of our most popular and consistent forms of encouragement.
We invite you
to sign up (see below). These devotionals will make
you smile, sometimes shed a tear, but they will always be written by someone
who understands living with daily chronic pain and illness and they will
always direct you back to what we put our true hope in, our Savior.
Want
to read a few devotional first?
Remember! They can be emailed directly to you each day!

A NOTE FROM KAY, DEVOTIONAL COORDINATOR
I
was an English major in college. I have always found that I can communicate
in words better than speaking in large crowds of people. Writing has always
been my love. When I had Hodgkin's Disease I had many people praying for
my recovery. I promised God that I would thank Him by serving Him and
try to inspire the Hope in Christ that kept me alive and pursuing onward
in the midst of a life threatening illness.
I now have the opportunity to do this with the daily chronic illness devotionals that I send out every morning via email. Rest Ministries has been a godsend to me and has inspired the hope in that I am not alone, that there are countless others who are suffering in chronic illness and pain. I just want others to know that God is always there. I want others to know that there is always hope in Jesus Christ-- one is never alone.
I enjoy reading and writing, taking long walks on the beach and gazing at the ocean, photography and needlework. I also enjoys spending time with my hubby, Joe, and fur-person friend, my dog. When I get a chance I love regressing like a child and playing with my 2 nieces and 2 nephews who are the love and joy of my life.
Kay is a volunteer and is unable to respond to every email, but she appreciates receiving your notes of encouragement. To write to Kay, send to rest@restministries.org attn: Kay
"Each day the daily devotional is like salve to my soul. I have been struggling in the last month with depression due to chronic illness--bipolar illness. I recently signed up to receive your daily devotionals and each day I look forward to the uplifting feeling they bring." T.F.
I am devouring Mosaic Moments: Devotionals for the Chronically ill book and am going to be opening and closing my Bible study with devotions from it. What an incredible book it is. Speaking through pain is never easy, but God gifts us well to suit our "disabilities." -Diane R.
I have been
receiving Rest Ministries devotionals for about three months-ever since
I turned to the internet to find someone who would understand. I needed
to hear someone say "it's okay to be angry at your limitations, and
it's okay to hurt, but there is a place to look for help. That place is
God's Word!" The devotionals from you are just what the many friends
and family had ordered. Through the weeks that have followed, I have been
nourished and encouraged by the daily thoughts, and have begun to pass
them on to others who are enduring pain. I have been in touch with some
of the authors, and have been encouraged by their words. That is what
I wanted to say, and I want to thank you for all that you have meant to
me and the ways you have encouraged me. -Ruth F.
