When I began this sabbatical journey, I was concerned about the amount of rest I needed to get, and how in the world am I going to sleep for eight hours! Ok, I figured it out!! I actually stressed about it a little.
Here is what I am learning: Jesus WANTS to give me rest. And He says that the way I receive rest is to be yoked with Him, for His yoke is easy and His burden is light.
When I am yoked with Him and I flow with Him, I find there is nothing heavy-hearted, ill-fitting or burdensome. Things will fall into place. I won’t be weighed down, anxious or stressed. I find that a life yoked with Him is anxiety and worry-free. Oh, and sleep comes much easier without the stress.
So, as I am flowing with Him and following His lead, I meet Karen Watts, through my friend, Cherry Bivone. Karen owns and operates a lovely clothing boutique called “Gifted Garments”. Gifted Garments ‘helps to beautifully clothe local women in need’ at no cost to them. Clothes, shoes, purses and other accessories are donated and given away! Its a lovely place!
After I interviewed her briefly, she informed me that does not take any monetary donations, just clothing. Her biggest need is getting extra large and plus size clothing.
If you have items that are at least extra large, in excellent condition, and you want to be a blessing, Karen is more than willing to accept them.
