The women of Afghanistan are often on my heart. This morning a few intrepid women and I braved the rain for an event called the Secret 3k. Hosted by the 30 Birds Foundation out of Saskatchewan to raise money for Afghan women, the origin story is of women runners in Afghanistan having to have secret running races. Now of course, that is not even permitted as the reins have tightened around the necks of those women.

As we walked under the rainy skies, I couldn’t help but be reminded of all the tears that must be shed by young women in that country. And the tears of God, the One who created each woman. The God who longs for the freedom of all her daughters. May it come to pass

A cafĂ© mocha, ☕ crafted by a friend sits on a beautiful table cloth where I enjoy its creamy warmth while overlooking a large lake.

Where are you in this present moment?
What are you sitting with, in your soul?
What is taking up some space that might need attending?
And where do you sense the presence of the Holy One?

I first saw this sign on my neighbour’s lawn “Walk softly for 2 weeks” and thought that perhaps their church was doing an interesting spiritual practice together.

I contemplated about what it could mean to walk softly.

Walk softly to work,
Walk softly around the ‘hood,
Walk softly 
 with care.
Walk softly 
 and listen.

The next day I drew closer and realized that they had laid new sod.
Ohhhh
 đŸ˜‚đŸ€Šâ€â™€ïž

But still, the idea of walking softly is still intriguing to my soul.

What would it mean for you to walk softly this week? Is there anything the idea that piques your interest?
(Or is it just me
?)

Lmk below âŹ‡ïž if you have any thoughts that arise from this beautiful idea.

These beautiful fiddleheads speak of hope.
Where are you sensing hope in your life?
Where are you lacking hope, perhaps?
Take a moment to share with God about what emerged for you just now.

With love and care,

Kristen

A short breath prayer that we can carry around and call to mind during the day. Take a pause now to slow your breath and pray.

Breath prayers are powerful ways to call to mind the presence of Christ with us, to pause and remember that Jesus is right beside us.

You are loved and held. đŸ©·

Words from Isaiah 26:3 resonate for me today:

“You will keep in perfect peace she whose mind is steadfast, because she trusts in you.”

I trust in you, God, despite the uncertainty.
I trust that you are with me now in the waiting, and I know you walk with me in every future moment. This is what I trust in: your love and your unwavering presence.

My audio devotion this morning was talking about hearing God’s voice. As I walked my dog, God’s voice was audible in the delightful views of spring around me.

God’s voice was in the peace of a bunny that didn’t run away as we came near, but sat and twitched its nose.

God’s voice was in the sight of the birds, flitting and flying and the sounds of their singing. I heard God chuckle at the squirrels busily rustling for food under a bird feeder.

God’s voice was in the myriad colours and shapes of the flowers đŸŒ· appearing after a long and bleak winter.

I heard his voice as I looked up at the buds on the trees, the promise of fresh new leaves soon. God spoke of hope.

I heard God’s voice through the sights, sounds and smells of spring: a declaration of love. ❀

On this Saturday morning I try to embrace ‘slow’ and ‘simple’.

It looks like lighting a candle.
Like sipping a coffee.
Like reading a Psalm.
Like listening to the rain.

Like simply being with Jesus in the mundane rhythms of an ordinary life.
