CBWC Fresno Luncheon - Busyness and Rest with Dorina Lazo Gilmore
2025-02-18 11:45 - 13:00 | Pardini’s Catering, 2257 W. Shaw, Fresno, CA, 93711, United States
When people ask how we are doing, a common response is ?busy.?
We wear our busyness like a badge of honor. Somehow we have convinced ourselves that rest is wasteful and there?s no time for it. God gives us rest as a regular invitation into His Presence. This message is designed to encourage weary mamas, stressed-out leaders, and people from all walks of life who want to explore different types of rest. Time: Doors Open 11:30

Life is full of crossroads?decisions that shape our businesses, homes, relationships, and careers. But what if the key to true success isn?t in striving to control the outcome, but in surrendering to where God is leading?

In this talk, we?ll explore how faith isn?t just a Sunday practice, but the guiding force that brings clarity to our direction. When we trust God?s plan, even when the path feels uncertain, we will always arrive exactly where He wants us to be?full of purpose, peace, and sacred alignment.

Let?s step boldly into His plan and watch Him unfold something greater than we ever imagined!
