Fallowness is actually an agricultural term meaning to allow the soil to rest. At the Village we practice being fallow in the sense of allowing our lives and souls to rest.
Culturally, the expectation for Christmas season is the exact opposite of fallowness. Parties, shopping, cooking, rushing, going, going, going!
If we choose to engage in the practice of fallowness then we are choosing to allow space in our lives to be still and hear from God or simply rest in His presence. This will be refreshing and mostly likely aggravate our fleshly desires.
How are you practicing fallowness this month? Let's encourage each other in our conversations and interactions with each other in the weeks to come.
