When God Says, “Lay It Down”

Golden autumn leaves falling from a tree branch, symbolizing letting go and trusting God’s timing.

Stillness Is Not Stagnation

A Black woman sits quietly on the grass beside a still pond at sunrise, dressed in a flowing off-white dress with her hands resting open beside her, gazing softly across the water.

A Black woman sits peacefully near a sunlit window, holding a mug in both hands, with an open book beside her on a wooden nightstand.

Hope doesn’t always feel like joy. Sometimes, it’s simply the decision to return—to your breath, to God, to yourself. This kind of hope isn’t loud, but it’s faithful—and it’s enough.
