As the days march on and the seasons of our lives As the days march on and the seasons of our lives stack up, we can sometimes wonder how life became so full and time so cramped.

If you're like me, it can be easy to forget there's abundance in a life flowing to the gentle stream of His sovereign schedule.

Dear friend, are you living in a season of hope up Dear friend, are you living in a season of hope upon hope? If so, I understand. πŸ’—
.
The relentlessness of some seasons has a way of tethering our threadbare hearts to hope.
.
Unlike other holy hallmarks, sometimes hope can feel hard to define. π˜“π˜°π˜·π˜¦ feels wild and strong; 𝘧𝘒π˜ͺ𝘡𝘩, grounded and secure. Yet, hope can seem wistful, intangible.
.
But, more and more I'm realizing that even though hope seems an elegant mysteryβ€”Hope is a force unto itself.
.
In today's Proverbs 31 Ministries devotion, 𝘏𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘏𝘦𝘒𝘳𝘡𝘒𝘀𝘩𝘦 π˜“π˜ͺ𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘴, I share how God meets us inside this beautiful mystery of hope with all of Himself. His power has not lost its authority. πŸ™Œ 
.
Dear friend, I'm here alongside you as together we hold hope inside the lingering heavy seasons of life. πŸ’—
.
You can read and join the conversation today at Proverbs31. org . Would love to hear from you, friend. πŸ’•

The neon numbers on my nightstand clock insisted i The neon numbers on my nightstand clock insisted it was midnight, yet it may as well have been midday as far as my active mind was concerned.
.
Weariness swept my spirit as the enemy nagged notions of angst. π˜“π˜°π˜³π˜₯, 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘀𝘒𝘯 𝘐 𝘀𝘰𝘯𝘡π˜ͺ𝘯𝘢𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘡𝘰 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘢𝘱 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦π˜₯ 𝘰𝘢𝘡? I begged softly into the night.
.
Turns out, trying to fill every moment of opportunity can leave you feeling empty of rest.
.
Dear friend, can you relate to being in that place of striving to do it all, lest you miss out on something meaningful, while quietly feeling weary and worn?
.
We often hear the acronym FOMOβ€”the β€œfear of missing out.” But what a lullaby it would sing to our weary spirits, if instead we embraced a different kind of FOMOβ€”the β€œfreedom of missing out.” πŸ™Œ
.
You can read the full devotion live today at Proverbs 31 Ministries! ✨
.
I’d love to hear your story, friend. Have you ever felt similarly? πŸ’•
