Quotes by Alan Fadling (?)

“Rest is not a place I collapse into when I’ve finally done enough work — it’s the starting place, it’s the way into the well-fitting, easy yoke of Jesus (Matthew 11:25-30). What if we began in rest? Would it be possible to do my work without getting all wound up or collapsing?

Does Jesus seem to you to be all wound up, straining and stressed, as he works? No he’s continually abiding in a place of peace and joy, affirmation and acceptance.”
― Alan Fadling, An Unhurried Life: Following Jesus' Rhythms of Work and Rest

“The Spirit will lead us to places where we live out our trust in God by waiting, not acting.”

“In the decades before his ministry begins and in the forty wilderness days, Jesus is willing to wait, and his example calls us to cultivate that same posture before the Father.”
