Lately I’ve been learning what it means to slow down.
Not the cute Pinterest version of slow… but the kind that feels like undoing years of hustle, rewiring old patterns, and facing the parts of myself I used to outrun.
I used to think progress was only found in motion — in doing more, producing more, being more.
But now I’m realizing I’ve been stuck in survival mode for far too long… and that slowing down, healing, and creating a life my kids won’t have to unlearn later is the priority.
Some days I fall short as a wife.
Some days I fall short as a mama.
Some days I wonder if I’m becoming who God wants me to be.
But then He reminds me of the little things I’m doing every single day that are moving me forward.
He doesn’t drag my past into my present or hold it over me — that’s not His voice.
When old shame or fear tries to creep back in, that’s the enemy trying to distract me from the woman God is shaping me into.
This slower life is a priority… even when it’s messy, even when it’s stretching me, even when it doesn’t look “productive.”
Because God is in the stillness just as much as the striving — maybe even more.
If you have a favorite Bible verse or passage about slowing down, rest, or trusting God’s pace… I’d love for you to share it below. I’m filling my heart with Truth in this season. 💛✨
