So much of what we do and desire to be is usually defined and explored in the context of the future. Yet I tend to shy away from the “tension” of the “what is” and the “what If.” I recognize that accepting the present and finding confidence and strength in resting in contentment for now. The last few months have been filled with highs and lows and the busyness of the seasons changing. But one thing I can't ever shake is the calming whisper of peace that echoes yet commands my response. September in our home is a month of celebration and lord of movement this year. It’s also a month when we begin planning and excitedly preparing for the holiday season. I hope this month and the last quarter of this year move you into a place of “standing still” when life feels chaotic. May you feel internally solid and courageous as you navigate through the mundane parts of your life yet still hold room for the spontaneous and beautiful aspects of your life! I'm working on doing all the above! Will you join me?! Remember, His beauty is all around you. May you incline your ear and set your eyes on it this week❤️ ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #beingpresent##beingpresentisenough#happiness#love#peace#blackmotherhood#prayingmama#peace#
