Sometimes the hardest part isn’t action—it’s the space in between. ⏳
We call it paralysis.
Scripture calls it an invitation. ✨

Jesus was busy—and still stopped.
For the urgent. For the long-suffering.
For spoken prayers and silent ones. 🙏🏽

If you’re stuck, grieving, or moving slower than you think you should…
don’t rush it. God is in the in-between. 💛

I don’t think God’s interested in your plans. I think God is interested in who you’re becoming.

The work you’ve been assigned is *holy*. It carries God’s anointing. And anointing brings…provision. You don’t have to collapse under a weight you were never assigned.

What are you already carrying that you’ve never considered sacred before? So many of you don’t offer what you have because you’re waiting for just the right conditions. Of you’re waiting for some more perfect version of yourself to emerge first. Drop that demon. Eliminate that stronghold. Because, like the wise ones, in Jesus’ presence, what was precious is made sacred.

I stand before you today saying: this is a new day. A Turning Point. I’m ready to do my part in making some changes to live a little differently. Steadier and readier than ever. Prepared. Because I’m channeling Anna. I’m fasting and I’m praying and I’m staying in the Temple, praising God. So that whenever God shows up? I won’t be distracted.

When God chose that manger, in a crowded home, God was keeping the Holy Family safe. No one would look for a king there.

Heaven moves first in the margins. Angels skip the courts and councils of kings, choosing instead to go straight to shepherds working the night shift. They’re ordinary people. Watching and waiting through the night for the light to shine.

Please, beloved, don’t miss God’s strategy of protection. This is how God moves.

Beloved in Christ, on this holy night, we mark our time together in the stillness that gives us the distinct experience of wrapping ourselves in God's glory.

As you reflect on the Christmas story and your own experience of it this year, I ask, what are you facing that feels impossible or unthinkable? Where are your angels? Think honestly - have you already heard from the angel you need? Have they already spoken? Or are you still waiting?
