We don't use the word "rest" much. These days we say we need a break, we can't wait for vacation, or we're taking a long weekend. But rest? Mostly we use that word when we're bugging our kids to eat the rest of their vegetables! That rest means, what's left. THAT is not God's rest.

The day we started #adifferentmarch I found out that most of March 2017 is called "Adar" in the Hebrew calendar. It captured my attention so I did a little research. I found out Adar is the month of "strength and power-a month to increase in joy". I. KID. YOU. NOT.

Can you imagine gladly boasting about your weakness? What kind of job interview, eHarmony profile, or social media post would that look like? We learn from an early age to cover our flaws and compensate for our weaknesses, when scripture clearly tells us that our weakness activates God’s strength.
