[Ep 138] Holy Hush or Holiday Hustle: Which Will You Choose?
from Journal Gently: Healing with God through quiet reflection, honest conversations, and gentle journaling · host Kari Bartkus, Spiritual Director for Christian Women
Can I confess something to you? I don't always look forward to the holiday season. Perhaps it's my previous years in ministry, planning ahead for the events and programs and using every last ounce of energy to pull it off, only to fall exhausted on the couch when all was said and done. Sometimes when you're in ministry or volunteer roles, you get busy leading the programs and don't necessarily take the time to celebrate the holiday yourself. But this year, I am actually looking forward to it. Want to know what has changed? I've decided to embrace the holy hush instead of the holiday hustle. And that, my friend, has made all the difference in the world. Today, I'm going to invite you to join me in embracing the holy hush. And at the end of the episode, there is a special offer for you to put your pen to paper and be intentional about what this holiday season will look like for you, too.
