Resting at His Feet in a World That Runs

This one’s for the woman whose mind feels like it’s running a marathon with no finish line in sight. For the one who can’t quite quiet the noise inside. Even when everything on the outside looks fine.

Let me remind you: Faith is intentional.

And the thing about intentional faith is that it doesn’t always look the way we expect it to. Sometimes it’s not about what we do at all. It’s about who we’re becoming in the process.

For the Woman Who Feels Like She Has to Carry It All

You know who you are. The one who feels like the weight of the world always ends up on your shoulders. The one who thinks she has to figure it all out, fix it, and make it happen.

But what if you didn’t?

What if, instead of switching into “work mode,” you dropped it all. Every worry, every “I have to,” every “what if” and just placed it in God’s hands?

What if being intentional looked like sitting at His feet instead of striving? What if clarity came through stillness instead of stress?

What if REST real, soul-deep rest, was the most radical faith move you could make today?

Learning to Rest Again

For so many of us, rest feels foreign. Like we have to earn it. Schedule a massage, plan a vacation, or squeeze it in between errands.

But what if you just… stopped?

What if you took a day off, dropped the babies off at school, daycare, or grandma’s house, or waited until naptime and used that moment not to catch up on chores, but to simply sit with God?

To breathe.

To be still.

To trust that He’s got it handled.

The Lie of “More”

We live in a world that constantly tells us to do more, get more, buy more. Whether we realize it or not, many of us are running circles around an invisible bronze statue. Chasing things God already freely gives.

Don’t get me wrong, I love nice things too. But if your takeaway from following us is just stuff, then we’ve missed the mark. Because all that stuff? It can only give you a quick rush. It can’t give you peace. God can.

Go Higher

Let this be your gentle reminder: Go higher.

Let faith, not striving, be your default.

I’m a bona fide striver. I’ll admit it. But at my barest essence, I’m an abider. And like Jesus told Martha, “Your sister has chosen the better option.”

To sit at His feet.

To be still.

To know.

So today, let’s choose the better thing, not productivity, but peace.

Summer 2025 recap: Memories, Lessons, and God’s Faithfulness

As the sun sets on Summer 2025, I find myself looking back with gratitude at the moments that filled these months with joy, growth, and a few surprises along the way. Summers always have a way of reminding us that life is a beautiful blend of sunshine and storms, laughter and lessons, endings and new beginnings.

This summer was no exception. From road trips and beach days to quiet evenings soaking in the warmth of community, every moment carried its own special story. Some days felt picture-perfect, while others stretched me in ways I didn't expect.

But through it all, God's fingerprints were everywhere - weaving His plan into the ordinary and the extraordinary.

Lessons from the Season

Summer has a way of teaching us things if we slow down enough to notice. I learned the importance of rest, the joy of saying "yes" to spontaneous fun, and the peace that comes when you trust God with what you cannot control.

I was reminded that He is present not only in the mountaintop moments but also in the valleys — and that sometimes the most meaningful memories are born from challenges we didn't see coming.

Looking Ahead with Hope

As we turn the page from summer into a new season, I carry these lessons with me. God has been faithful through every detail of this summer, and I know He will continue to lead in the months ahead.

And maybe that's the beauty of reflecting on a season: not just remembering what happened, but seeing how far you've come and how God has never left your side.

As you look back on your own summer, where can you see God's hand at work — and how might He be preparing you for the season ahead?
