What Peace Really is- Pearl 1

January often arrives carrying expectations—new goals, new energy, new demands.But this year, we’re beginning differently.Our January pearl is peace—not the surface kind, but the kind that settles the soul.This month’s book, The Missing Peace by Jared Nieman, invites us to ask a powerful question:What if the peace we’re searching for isn’t missing—but buried beneath our busyness?Throughout January, we’ll explore:* Why rest can feel uncomfortable* How guilt often disguises itself as productivity* What it looks like to receive peace as a practice, not a rewardYou don’t need to read quickly.You don’t need to finish perfectly.You only need to show up honestly.Reflection Prompt:Take a moment to reflect: Identify one area where you’re craving peace but find it hard to slow down or rest. What makes rest difficult there? Share your thoughts or intentions with our community, or jot them down for yourself. Let us grow together.Embrace this month gently by engaging in our discussions and sharing your experiences as you explore peace.Let wisdom unfold slowly.Honored to walk this journey with you.With faith and intention,Ebony SadeThanks for reading Pearls of Wisdom!
