    Wintering ~ What If This Season Is A Gift?

    She Is Awakening Winter Seasonal Journal - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G58SDNXBSacred Collaboration: the holy art of co-laboring with God - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G1H49CYHIn a world that’s always urging us forward, this season gently asks something different of us—to pause, to listen, and to pay attention to what’s happening beneath the surface.In this video, I reflect on wintering—the practice of beginning again not through urgency or striving, but through presence, trust, and surrender. Winter has a way of stripping things down: our routines, our assumptions, even the things we once relied on to feel secure. And while that can feel uncomfortable, it can also become a sacred space of preparation.Through journaling, painting, and reflection, this piece is an invitation to consider a different question:What if this season isn’t something to get through…What if it’s a gift?I share honestly about how winter—both literal and figurative—has taught me that God is at work even in the quiet, even in the dark. As Psalm 139 reminds us, darkness and light are not different to Him.Wherever you find yourself today—coming off a full season, walking through uncertainty, or simply longing to begin again—I hope this offers you a moment of rest, reflection, and gentle clarity.#Wintering #BeginningAgain #FaithAndReflection #SeasonalLiving #TrustingGod #QuietFaith #SpiritualFormation #CreativeFaith #SlowingDown #GodAtWork #SacredRhythms #IntentionalLiving #artjournaling #journaling
