Hello August…

Leave a comment

August meets me gently. Not rushed, no pressure, just a quiet invitation to keep going.

There’s something sacred about slowing down enough to hear my own soul whisper back. It’s been layered, with grief and grace, beauty and brokenness. I’m accepting that, some parts of me had to fall apart, so truth could rise.

I’m learning to sit in the quiet, with open hands, breathing through it with a deep inhale and a soft exhale, a holy space where I find Him and find me again. – denise marie

There is a quiet comfort in knowing we are held, gently and securely by God. In the chaos of life, in the middle of questions, fears, and uncertainty, His presence comforts us and His peace surrounds us.

The source of my peace…

Lately, I’ve been reminded that everything I need flows from one place, God.

Not always from people, not from plans, not even from my own strength,

Just Him.

I stepped outside today, let the sun touch my face and the wind speak softly to my spirit. And there, among the trees and sky and stillness, I remembered:

He is the source of my peace.

The wellspring of my joy.

The keeper of my soul.

Spending time with Him in nature grounds me.

It clears the noise.

It brings me home.

When I’m weary, I don’t need to do more.

I just need to return, 

to the One who holds it all,

and to the One who holds me.

Beauty through my lens…

The beauties I found in my backyard.

Lately, I’ve been learning to slow down and really see, not just with my eyes, but with my heart.

The sky is soft in the morning, the flowers blooming by the sidewalk, and the wind brushing the trees like a song.

But something inside me is changing.
I’m learning to pay attention, to notice the light as it filters through the leaves, and to find beauty even in the ordinary and overlooked.

This is the lens I’m choosing now,
one shaped by gratitude, healing and hope. The more I look through it, the more beauty I see, not just around me, but within me too. – denise marie

    Thank You God, for this new day, a fresh start, a quiet morning filled with possibility.
    Let Your peace settle over my heart like the morning dew.
    Let Your favor go before me and Your grace walk beside me. Help me to see myself through Your eyes: loved, chosen, and enough. – denise marie

    Choose to trust God…

    Through every situation, I choose to trust God. He sees what I cannot, knows what I do not, and is leading me toward the peace, love, and wholeness I deserve.

    Letting go isn’t always easy, but I know His plans are greater than my own. I will walk forward in faith, knowing He is guiding my steps.

    Yesterday as I went for a walk, the wind was gusting and the clouds began to cover the blue sky. I watched in awe, as the palm trees were swaying, being pulled back and forth against the strong force of the wind.

    It reminded me, that in this life, I will experience disappointment, heartache, and challenges, that just like these palm trees, I will sway back and forth amongst the winds of life, bending…but not breaking.

    Even in those times of uncertainty, God said He would be with me and I am covered by His promises that are steadfast, unwavering and consistently loved.
