- It's a Downs family tradition to be prepared, so today I want to let you in on how I prep for my Sabbath practice. We've talked through what I do and don't do for Sabbath, but we haven't talked about how to get READY to observe Sabbath. That ends now! And I'd love to hear how you get ready for a day of rest and worship, so share your tips in the comments below!

Thank you 😊
Sabbath is a brand new practice for me but I find that doing a deep clean of my space on Friday late afternoons makes me feel like I can be in a true place of rest (and with COVID, I feel certain that I can rest in a sanitized space). It’s the last thing I do before Sabbath starts on Friday evening and I usually listen to a podcast as I clean. Wonderful video Annie - love your resources for Sabbath! It has helped me craft a practice that isn’t so intimidating!
I am new to this practice but I am loving it! You and the resources you’ve pointed us to have been so helpful in taking the “legalism” of honoring sabbath away. I may not have a full day but I can always find at least a segment of a day. Also, just finished The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry” - WOW! So good.
What a gift of a book, right?
great suggestions. I will incorporate some things, like preparing my music + reading ahead of the day. I especially like suggestion of actually putting your work away and shutting the door. I'm definitely going to do that.
Sabbath is my beloved practice since I join to church who celebrating Sabbath. I have Friday and Saturday off work. In the beginning that was more self discipline to follow God's blessing routine but now I can't wait for Friday. So my practice is prepare all before Friday sundown.
Shopping in the morning, cleaning, washing and cooking for weekend. Then closing professional affairs, sending emails, sharing blogging post and social media. Then when Sabbath start is time for mobile silent mode on, light the candles, pray, meditation, reading the Bible or any spiritual book, watching or listen spiritual podcast. Sometimes is phone call with best friend about some interesting spiritual topic. Once a month I have weekend spiritual spa with professional massage then bath at home, healthy food, joga. All with joy and gratitude. I also have jar where I putting my thank you card from last week.
I love the way with you Annie talk about Sabbath with so much passion. Thank you very much for your video. I watched Joyce Mayer talk it out podcast last evening and I'm curious your book about brave.
Laundry is a definite must for me when prepping. I used to observe the Sabbath on Fridays for the very reason you mentioned- Sunday's didn't feel like rest because of the work I was doing at my church. Plus with small kids, you just end up doing 1 million things to get them ready for an 8a.m. service.
Thanks Annie! You’ve been a great influence in my life around sabbath. I’m a busy mom, teacher, pastors wife, but I’m making this a priority.
Thank you SO much for this video and your others about the Sabbath rest. I have been observing Saturday Sabbaths for the past 16 years, as we raised our two home schooled children. Because they pretty much have only known this life rhythm, now that they are 24 and 26, they both hold the Sabbath rest day as a high priority in their lives. Bravo, Annie, for obeying the 4th commandment and helping others to do it too!
I am wanting to do a Saturday Sabbath like that! So thank you for all the info! I’m an avid listener of your podcast and I am always so blessed by all your content! You love Jesus and people, and it shows! Blessings!❤️
I'm working on finding a day and a practice that works for me - and your talking about how your Enneagram number plays into that has been so helpful. I know that being on my phone or the TV isn't great for me as a 9. A walk in nature is great, as is hobby time (I crochet and make glass beads for fun). I've learned so much for you and am so grateful from all the resources and wisdom you share!
Could you do a video with some of your parent friends on how they sabbath? Specifically with younger kids. I have a 5 year old and a 1 year old and sabbath is so tough for me! 😕 or any specific tips?
Shireen Eldridge and the Bethkes (and John Mark Comer of course!) all have great stuff about family Sabbath practices.
@@AnnieFDownsTSF thank you! I’ll definitely look into that! ☺️
Can you do a video on the process/journey you went through to buy your condo? I am a single 30 year old woman just starting to plan to buy a condo. I would love to hear some Christian wisdom from a woman I trust.
I absolutely love My Sabbath (Sunday) so by Saturday all cleaning no matter what is done. I also, close my curtains and Lay out clothes for church before bed. Its like preparing for a party every week. On Sabbath I go to church and lead worship and come home and NAP! then after that I try to watch other online services and stay off other tv and such.
I like to make ice cream healthier by cutting my portion in half and add chopped frozen banana in its place.
Great video, I really want to start practicing Sabbath. Where did you get your glittery sneakers and what do you eat on you sweet potato?
I absolutely LOVE this video! I would love to know where you got those adorable glitter tennis shoes?!?!?!?
They were a gift. Sorry, I'm no help!
Hi Amber! Keds did a collab with Kate Spade and are selling some super cute glitter tennies if you want something similar 😊
