Turns out, trying to fill every moment of opportunity can leave you feeling empty of rest.

Dear friend, can you relate to being in that place of striving to do it all, lest you miss out on something meaningful, while quietly feeling weary and worn?

We often hear the acronym FOMO—the “fear of missing out.” But what a lullaby it would sing to our weary spirits, if instead we embraced a different kind of FOMO—the “freedom of missing out.” 🙌

You can read the full devotion live today at Proverbs 31 Ministries! ✨

I’d love to hear your story, friend. Have you ever felt similarly? 💕
