For part of my life, rest was very important. As a family we had a day dedicated to God and family. But at some point, that changed, work became extremely important as we were going through some struggles. 

After many years (I am now married and have a family of my own) I realized that Sabbath truly is a blessing from God and we have nothing to lose and everything to gain from resting and following the Sabbath. I am currently putting Sabbath before work in my life, and want to learn more about how to rest with God and be closer to him in this time, which is why I am taking this course.
