On Monday, we like to draw your attention to certain aspects of the Scottish Women’s Bible Convention. For the next few weeks, we’ll be telling you a bit more about the range of Seminars that are on offer.

What is the seminar about?

When we think about rest, we probably initially think – I need more sleep but sleep is solely a physical activity. Rest, however, goes into the spiritual. Rest speaks peace into daily storms of mind, body, and spirit. The most effective rest occurs when we are purposefully reviving the parts of our life we regularly deplete. This seminar will look at the different types of rest our bodies need and how we can replenish and restore the areas our body needs.

Who is the seminar for?

Are you weak, weary or worn out? Is your worth wrapped tight around your endless activity? Are you caught up in a busy, chaotic life, with lots of to-do-lists, and commitments. Resulting in lots of activity but very little enjoyment? Do you feel overwhelmed? If the answer is yes to any of these statements, then this seminar is for you.

Why is this area important?

Real rest and restoration occur when we allow ourselves time, space, and grace to be in the presence of God in the middle of our busy lives. Rest causes us to be still and seek to know God. It calls us to look deeper at ourselves and our surroundings. It forces us to stop. Rest is not simply pushing the pause button on your day; it’s not merely taking a break. Rest is about replenishing, restoring, renewing, recovering, rebuilding, regenerating, remoulding, and repairing 
It’s a second opportunity to put back in order anything that has shifted out of alignment with God’s best for you.

Besides your seminar, what one thing about the Scottish Women’s Bible Convention are you looking forward to and why?

I am really looking forward to reconnecting with women I have met from previous years and hopefully also connecting with some new women too. It is a real blessing to meet together with sisters in Christ to worship and encourage one another in the word.
