Spending more time admiring my Father’s creation 🌻
As an ambitious girl I often times have more dreams and goals that I can keep up with
Over the past couple years I have been in a rush to achieve perfection. Two degrees and a career pivot later, I started to hear God tell me to s l o w d o w n .
When I started to take heed to His voice I started to find the rest God’s been trying to give me for so long. I began to feel my feet planted on the ground and with that came an increased awareness of my surroundings.
God opened my eyes to how much He cares. I started to gain a greater appreciation for the Creator and the beauty in His handcrafted details. I started to understand my purpose.
The same God that paints the sky and waters the flowers put far more thought and care into creating us.
Psalms 139:13-14: "For it was You who created my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I will praise You because I have been fearfully and wonderfully made"

In our fast-paced world, it's easy to lose sight of the beauty surrounding us, especially in nature. By taking a moment to slow down, we can appreciate the intricate details of God's creations, from vibrant flowers to the vast sky. This intentional mindfulness allows us to recognize our own value and purpose within the grand design. "Stop measuring days by the degree of productivity and start experiencing them by the degree of presence," said philosopher Alan Watts. By focusing on presence rather than productivity, we cultivate a deeper sense of gratitude and fulfillment in our lives. This resonates significantly with the teachings found in Psalms 139:13-14, emphasizing that we are wonderfully created beings with a unique purpose. Exploring themes of vulnerability, faith, and beauty, we align with the narratives of Christian lifestyles and the empowerment of women. Especially poignant for Christian girls and women, this journey encourages embracing our identities as daughters of the Creator and acknowledging the beauty in our lives and others'. As we learn to admire and appreciate God's detailed work, we also become more attuned to our capabilities and gifts.
