She built a house with a wine display room in the center. Two hundred bottles behind a glass wall. Then one fall she dropped to her knees in her bedroom and told God her life was a mess.
Jennifer Merrill laid down drinking that day. Everything she had been numbing surfaced, and she had to face all of it. She hired a contractor, took out the glass, built a wall, and turned that room into a prayer closet.

At the root of it was the need to be loved by God. She knew He loved her. She did not believe it. When she came to believe it, the issues got smaller one by one.

Rest is not laziness. It is resting in what Jesus already finished. Four different people told her she needed it before she understood what it meant.
