The Pause
Have you ever reached a point where everything just grinds to a halt?
You abandon your plans, go "radio silent" on social media, and bow out of social events. Maybe you've chalked it up to fear or paralysis. I've found myself in this recent "stop moving fear paralysis" phase, and it feels like I've stepped out of my own skin. I hit pause on blogging, social media updates, and even turned down significant events and opportunities. I simply took a break.
In that break, I took a moment to reflect, guided by my faith. It was like letting a higher force adjust the map of my life. As the daily noise settled, I listened to my own thoughts and feelings, trusting that this pause had a purpose, even if I couldn't see it clearly. It wasn't an easy break, but it was necessary—a chance to surrender to a bigger plan. Without the usual noise, I had several sacred conversations with The Lord. Now, stepping back in, my faith is woven into a clearer purpose, and I move forward trusting that hitting pause was an invitation to refresh and follow a more intentional path.
