I’ve been feeling overwhelmed lately with the current events happening around us. Sometimes I feel flooded with information from the news, social media, and my peers. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s important we stay informed and continue to educate ourselves. But sometimes it feels heavy, you know?
This past weekend, Justin and I decided to take a drive to this beautiful lake in Truckee. Despite the heatwave we were getting back home, the weather was perfect where we were at. We laid out on the dock and watched the sunset. It was quiet, peaceful, and still. Spending this time with my little family was just what I needed. I was reminded how good God truly is.
I know life gets busy, and we’re all trying to make it in this crazy world. But in the moments we start to feel overwhelmed, I think it’s important to put our work down, put our phones down, and take time for ourselves to reset, recharge, and reconnect with the people we love.
Perhaps this is what this season is all about: trusting in the unknowns, finding gold in the little things, trading fear of what’s certain for freedom to thrive within it, to know that by grace, there is room to truly live within this space, and to laugh and to make art even after all that fell apart, and courageously pursue joy, even when you don’t know what will happen. And not because you’re careless, but because you’re grateful, and you are mindfully choosing to be faithful, even in the waiting.
