A slower, safer way to learn how to truly rest
There comes a point where striving stops working.
Where pushing through no longer brings peace.
Where doing more doesn’t fix the deeper exhaustion.
That’s where REST begins.
The Girl Rest! Support Groups are not another program to complete or pressure to perform.
They are a community space for women who are ready to learn how to rest—together.
What This Is...
This is a small, intentional support group experience where 5–15 women gather to:
-
Slow down in a safe, non-judgmental space
-
Learn what it actually means to rest in Jesus
-
Process real life, not just talk about it
-
Be supported in-between sessions through text and email
-
Grow at their own pace without pressure
We meet 1X per month, and in between, you are not left alone. This is community-style support, not surface-level connection.
Our Approach to Rest
At Girl Rest!, we believe:
Rest is not something you force.
Rest is not something you perform.
Rest is something you choose—and grow into over time.
We don’t rush transformation here.
We don’t measure your growth by speed.
We don’t expect perfection.
Instead, we:
-
Create space for you to breathe again
-
Walk with you at your pace
-
Listen deeply without trying to fix you
-
Model what real rest looks like in everyday life
-
Trust God to do what only He can do
Because real, lasting rest doesn’t come from pressure…
We rest when we trust.
What You Can Expect
Inside each group, you’ll experience:
❤️Gentle Guidance
You won’t be pushed or rushed. You’ll be invited.
❤️Real Conversations
Not surface-level answers—honest, life-giving reflection.
❤️Safe Community
A space where you can show up as you are.
❤️Ongoing Support
Text and email access between sessions so you’re not navigating alone.
❤️Room to Grow Slowly
There is no deadline here.
This Might Be For You If...
You feel tired of constantly striving
You know busyness isn’t working anymore
You want peace—not just temporary relief
You’re open to slowing down (even if it feels uncomfortable)
You’re ready for something deeper than “just try harder”
Your soul is body and soul is tired and you want freedom
This May Not Be For You (Yet)...
And that’s okay.
This space may not be the right fit right now if:
-
You’re looking for quick fixes or instant results
-
You want techniques without surrender
-
You feel resistant to slowing down or reflecting
-
You want control more than transformation
-
You're just looking to hang out but not for growth
There is no pressure here—only invitation.
How I Lead
✅I don’t rush what God is doing in you.
✅I don’t force outcomes.
✅I stay available, not controlling.
✅I trust timing more than pressure.
You are free to grow here.
Structure + Committment
To keep the group intimate we will cap attendance at 15 women.
We meet via Zoom. This is a community and we would love for each woman present to have their camera on (but it's optional). The beauty is that you do not have to be fully made up. Wear your cozy house clothes or your bonnet. We are resting...NOT attending a fashion show.
You will always receive a reminder the day before and 1 hour before we start. Please check your spam if you are not receiving emails.
Due to the nature of our virtual gatherings, the meetings will NOT be recorded.
Please be committed to the dates that you sign-up for. Since these are smaller gatherings, we want to make sure that space is available for those who want to show up. Therefore, we must restrict your participation if we see a pattern of no-shows.
You may sign-up for as many dates that you like for your growth needs. When we reach a demand for more than one group, we will address the need when it arises.
When you come please bring your Bible, journal/notebook, and a heart and mind ready to receive.
There is NO cost to join the support groups. We encourage each woman to sow a seed into this ministry as they are able. This helps support the time that DeLonda graciously puts into walking alongside women in their rest journey and providing resources and creative spaces for women to gather and grow as they learn to rest in Jesus. Girl Rest!
Contributions are not tax-deductible, as we are not a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
What Changes Here
We don’t measure success by how fast you change…
We look for:
-
A quieter mind
-
A calmer spirit
-
Less pressure, more trust
-
A life that feels lighter
-
Faith that flows from peace, not performance
And over time…
You won’t just experience rest.
You’ll begin to live from it. That's what we want to see!
Join a REST Support Group!
Listen, if something in you is ready…
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You don’t have to be “doing it right.”
Girl, you just have to be willing to lean into this rest life❤️
