Echoes: From the Dwelling Place
This poem arrived during prayer as I noticed how easily my mind fills with noise—and how steadily God remains present. I’m learning to let attention return to God, again and again, without trying to outthink myself.
Stillness is where I remember to breathe—and where chaos loosens its grip. A reflection on knowing God through silence, presence, and trust.
When the words wouldn’t come, John 1:14 found me again. This is how the Word made flesh met me at the page and led me back to Immanuel.
A reflection on choosing God’s voice over fear, people-pleasing, and the need for approval. Explore how courage, discernment, and creativity grow when we stop fighting fear and start trusting God’s quiet, steady guidance.
The story of how SoulWork Sanctuary came to be — born from Katie Cannon’s question, “What is the work your soul must have?” — and reflects my hope that each episode offers a moment of sanctuary, a breath of God’s presence, and an invitation to tend your soul.
When a vine pushed through my closed window, God reminded me what I had forgotten: the Vine still finds us, connects us, and grows fruit in us—quietly, steadily, always.
