It isn\u2019t lost, it\u2019s simply waiting for the wind. Our own journey, at times, can feel much the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can spend so much time looking outside of ourselves for validation, approval, or signs that we are on the \u201cright\u201d path, but perhaps some seasons are simply asking us to trust our own journey and to practice patience with divine timing. A sailboat doesn\u2019t need to chase the wind. It needs to be ready when the wind arrives. Maybe that is our invitation, also: to clear away some of the mental clutter, quiet the outside noise, and create space for what\u2019s next. So that when the wind catches our sails, we are ready to move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Journaling can be part of that preparation. It doesn\u2019t always have to take us into the deep depths of our emotions. Sometimes a blank page is simply a place to set an intention for the day. To name something we are grateful for. To notice what is stirring within us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few quiet moments. A little reflection. A willingness to trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What might you be preparing for in this season of stillness?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2615 <em>Sip.
