Sweet friend, if you see yourself in these words today, I hope you’ll be extra kind to yourself, for we are all human & sometimes the pace of life can be downright challenging.
.
I’m praying for you, my friend, as you begin to step toward a life of less stuff and more peace in 2022. 💗
.
You can read the full devotion (Letting Go of Clutter and Holding On to Peace) at Proverbs31.org.

If you’re anything like me, sometimes we forget

If you’re anything like me, sometimes we forget that peace isn’t found in the certainty of circumstances.
.
True peace isn’t a fair weather friend, appearing when things are swell & vanishing when times are tough.
.
No, Peace is the God who stays, the God who never leaves, in good times and in bad—for God Himself is our very peace.
.
This year, I want to forsake the futile seeking of peace, and embrace the peace poured into my soul by the God who makes His home there.
.
How I long to linger in the sacred space of His washing peace.
.
Maybe you feel the same, friend?
.
Together, let’s step onto the sacred soil of a newborn year & live our moments from the wellspring of true peace.
.
Embrace it. Welcome it. Invite it in. Offer it a long-overdue seat in our spirits.
.
Wishing you a peace-filled 2022, my friend. 🤍
