I stepped outside and took a deep breath, not just air, but presence. The trees stood still, the sky wide and soft, and I felt God near.

Sometimes I forget how close He really is. But out here, in the quiet, with the earth under my feet and the wind brushing past, I remember.

Every breath is a reminder that,
I am alive, I am held, and I am not alone.

I’m grateful that His presence meets me in the stillness, with just my breath and belonging. – denise marie
