Rain-Kissed Leaves 🍃
🌳✨This morning, the trees were glistening—
sunlight dancing on rain-kissed leaves,
a gentle breeze brushing against me like
God’s own hand through my hair.
Coffee. Birds singing.
The pool water rhythmically moving,
and Al beside me in his own quiet conversation with the Father.
I opened to Exodus 3:1–12.
Moses.
The burning bush.
That holy moment where reluctance met purpose.
He saw his flaws.
God saw his fit.
He stuttered.
God still spoke.
He doubted.
God promised His presence.
And I wonder…
𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠 𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑘 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑤𝑒'𝑟𝑒 𝑢𝑛𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒,
𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑘𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑠 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙 𝑙𝑜𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛 𝑜 𝑢𝑟 𝑔𝑖𝑓𝑡𝑠?
Maybe it looks like this:
Showing up to the quiet.
Letting God remind us who we are.
And listening again for the voice that still says—
“𝓘 𝔀𝓲𝓵𝓵 𝓫𝓮 𝔀𝓲𝓽𝓱 𝔂𝓸𝓾.”
That’s enough for today.
That’s enough for this step.

Morning rituals can transform our outlook on life, much like the beauty found in rain-kissed leaves. This vivid imagery evokes a profound sense of peace, reminding us to be present amidst life's chaos. Such moments of reflection allow us to reconnect with our inner selves and our spiritual path. In Exodus 3:1-12, Moses encountered the burning bush, symbolizing the call to purpose even in our weaknesses. Similarly, feeling overwhelmed can often lead us to overlook our strengths. Understanding God's promise of presence serves as a powerful reminder that we are not alone in our journey. Additionally, cultivating mindfulness in nature—whether it's through observing how raindrops dance on leaves or the quiet rustling of trees—nurtures our soul and brings clarity to our thoughts. Making time for nature can foster spiritual growth and authenticity. As you sip your morning coffee or pause to listen to birds, consider the simplicity in these quiet moments. They're opportunities to reflect, recharge, and listen to the divine whispers that guide us along our unique path. Embrace these 'Burning Bush Moments' to ground yourself and remember that being rooted by grace allows for true self-discovery.
