Mary Benton

After High School and a couple of years in college, majoring in Speech and Drama, my education has been through certifications, seminars, books, mentoring and church affiliations. I consider myself a perpetual student.

My past identity was in trying to please other people and meet their expectations. What a miserable existance. I found myself lonely and defeated in my efforts. I've had head knowledge that my true identity in Christ, but only recently have I gained the heart knowledge and reconciliation to enjoy living in God's grace.

I'm a wife, mother and grandmother. My family is extremely important to me. The time I spend with them collectively and separately is wonderful and fulfilling. I also enjoy my church family and community.

Glorifying God is my purpose in life. The beauty in my purpose is God does all the work. When I find myself struggling to do what I think I should do is when I now realize that I am out of alignment with His plan for my life.

Providing tools and coaching for other people to live in the Sabbath Rest my mission. There is no reason for a person to live defeated due to past situations in their life. We have the power and responsibility to rise out of the ashes.
