Listening.

A snail’s pace

Hello friends! This season’s pace has been slow, and again it’s been awhile since I have posted on Arise Blog. It seems the pace is connected to the rhythm of more listening. It has been a continuum for reflective entry into a new year. A few week’s ago I met a sweet friend for coffee, and her encouraging comment has stayed with me “You keep writing, and save up for a time to post.” I am grateful for this nudge.

May these resources be an invitation for listening at a snail’s pace!

Two children’s books. Psalms. And surprised by author.

A beautiful thing happened this month!

Hello friends! It’s been awhile since I have posted on Arise Blog because this month’s time has called me to more listening. It’s definitely been a reflective entry into a new year. It hit me a few morning’s ago that a new posting for the year’s start would be to share some of the readings I have been listening with instead of coming up with another devotional or resting portion.

May these resources bring inspiration to your 2024 beginning or in the months to come!
