This week’s message has been working on me a little.

Jesus’ words in Matthew 6 sound simple on the surface—but they press into something deeper than we often admit.

He talks about the things we all think about:
food… clothing… shelter.
Satisfaction… image… security.

And then He says, don’t worry.

That’s easy to read. Harder to live.

Because if I’m honest, a lot of my drive comes from feeling like there’s always more to do. More I should be doing. More I could be doing if I just pushed a little harder.

And I don’t think I’m alone in that.

I think a lot of us—especially moms—live with that quiet pressure in the background:
There’s more to do than I can get done.

So we keep going. We keep carrying it. We keep trying to stay ahead of everything that feels important.

But Jesus gently interrupts that way of living.

He says, in essence:
You don’t have to carry what I’ve already promised to provide.

“Seek first the Kingdom of God… and all these things will be added to you.”

Not earned. Not managed. Not controlled.
Added.

That’s a different way of living.

It raises a question I’ve been sitting with:

When was the last time you gave yourself permission to actually rest?

Not just stop for a moment—but really rest.
To be grateful for what God has already enabled you to do.
To step away without guilt… without anxiety about what isn’t finished yet.

Because the truth is, we live like everything depends on us finishing the work.

But Jesus already said. . .

We’ll take time during the service to honor and appreciate the women who have shaped our lives—moms, grandmas, spiritual mothers, and those who have loved and cared for others in countless ways.

We’ll also be hearing a special message from our Pastor’s wife, Kristin Inman, and it’s going to be a meaningful and encouraging morning.

Every mom will receive a special gift before leaving, and we’ll have a beautiful photo backdrop set up so you can capture memories with your family and loved ones.
