Practicing quiet, recognizing beauty

So, how do you feel right now? I don’t know about you, but I’m very aware of how much I need to lean into God. That’s partly an acknowledgement of the limitations I feel as I wear multiple hats (work, creativity, parenthood, plain ol’ life). It’s also a recognition that I’m stepping out of a complex and difficult season into new and exciting things. How about you? In this short episode I chat about practicing silence and share from two must-read books, one from Malcolm Muggeridge and the other Annie Dillard. If you need a boost of encouragement or some companionship as you walk out a similar journey, take a listen. And if you have a strategy on how to move to the depths from the shallows that you’d like to share, please hit the button below to leave a comment.
