Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is waste time. ~ Shelly Miller
Meet Shelly, your Sabbath mentor. At least that’s what Myquillyn Smith calls her. Shelly is married to H (yes, his name is one letter!), an Anglican minister who resources church planting in the UK and they are the proud parents of two children, Murielle and Harrison.
When Shelly isn’t at St. Barnabas Church in Kensington, you’ll find her clicking keys at a desk or walking around the city with her camera, exploring new places and meeting people.
I’m excited for you to get to meet her today. Here’s the interview on Dear Daughters Episode 24.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT
I don’t concern myself with matters too great or too awesome for me to grasp. Psalm 131:1
When Jesus died on the cross, it changed the Sabbath from a day of rules to a day of grace. ~ Shelly Miller
Without Sabbath rest, there is a deep loneliness for God. ~ Susie Davis
The more we practice rest, the more we uncover all these beautiful gifts that God has in the Sabbath that are beyond legalism. ~ Shelly Miller
When I rest, I experience an explosion of creative energy and a brightness in my life. ~ Susie Davis
