We took our own family to Selah Cottage after a very hard season.
Not for a holiday.
But for a pause.
Before we arrived, I consecrated the cottage and prayed that Abba would use this place —
to shine His light, to expose what was hidden, and to gently lead us into healing.
And that is exactly what He did.
At Selah, nothing is rushed.
And nothing is hidden for long.
With every frustration, something surfaced.
With every discomfort, something was revealed.
There was no TV.
No WiFi.
And suddenly we were faced with ourselves —
in one space, without escape, without distraction.
The noise fell away… and what remained had to be seen.
It brought out small fights!
Because exposure often does.
But when we stopped resisting the discomfort,
we began to see the beauty hidden inside it.
The children were bored again — truly bored.
And then something holy happened.
They began to create.
To build.
To imagine.
To make with their hands what screens had replaced.
I noticed my breath deepen.
My body soften.
My nervous system rest.
No phone. No WiFi. No constant EMFs humming in the background.
We played board games.
We laughed.
We spoke about deeper things — the kind of conversations that rarely find space in a life filled with urgency and comfortable distraction.
We made vision cards together, as a family.
We watched the sun sink slowly into the horizon.
We allowed time to stretch again.
Yes — we fought...
But we also lived.
We created.
We paused.
We rested.
We slept during the day — all of us.
(I never sleep during the day.)
And somewhere in the stillness, a knowing settled in my spirit:
Abba has a plan with this cottage.
A plan to strip away distraction and false comfort —
not to shame us,
but to reveal us.
Not to overwhelm,
but to heal us.
A plan to reclaim family.
To reclaim rest.
To reclaim time with Him.
Selah is not for everyone.
It is not easy.
It is not entertaining.
But Selah may be exactly what you and your family need
if you are longing to return —
to yourselves,
to one another,
and to God.
We are going monthly!
Selah — pause, and let Him do what only He can do.
