Months ago, on an overwhelming day when the news just seemed to be getting worse, I wrote down a phrase and put it on my desk where I could see it often. It said simply, “God is in control, and I am in charge.”

That is what we need to know when life is uncertain. God is still in control. He has not forgotten us. We have not been abandoned. He is with us, for us, working on our behalf even now. We can trust Him no matter what happens. He has also given us stewardship of our everyday lives — what we do with our energy and emotions, resources and relationships. We are not helpless. We can all ask ourselves, like the psalmist, What will I do today?

As an introvert, I find I need solitude to answer that question, which is why I went to the trail that morning. When life is noisy and the world chaotic, I can’t hear my soul or the whisper of God. We often look at solitude as selfish, but it’s a sacred act of service. It’s what empowers us to keep moving forward, loving well, being brave and making wise choices.

Solitude can be hard to find, so as a life coach and counselor, I recommend people schedule it into their day, even if it’s just a few moments. This can look like putting solitude on your calendar or creating a rhythm that lets you incorporate it into your life. For an introvert like me, being alone is an essential way I can recharge. But all of us, introverts or extroverts, need at least a little solitude in our lives. And the busier we are, the more essential it becomes.

As I completed my route on the trail I still had the same questions. But I felt calmer inside. I remembered that, even when I don’t know what the future holds, there is a mighty God who holds me.

I will put my hope in Him.

I will praise Him again.

When and where can you intentionally find solitude this week?

Love this recipe!!

It is getting chilly here in New Mexico! With winter looming, I thought I'd share this recipe for one of my favorite cold weather treats—Fire Cider...have you tried it? The fire comes from chili peppers, horseradish, and cayenne. Did you know only one tablespoon of cayenne pepper is loaded with nutrients like vitamins A, C, DV, E, K? I hope you enjoy and share this tasty boost for your immune system as much as I do.

Thank you 😊 for all the support on our small farm 👩🏻‍🌾 business! We are employing our best efforts to bring education of herbs 🌿 and how they can be used from a medicinal 💊🦠💉 perspective. The more we learn ℹ️ about the herbs or “weeds” growing around us, the more we can be healthy and well!
