Do you ever feel like you're running faster and still falling further behind?

For me, a peace lily in the corner of a sunroom once became a quiet picture of that feeling. On the outside, it stayed green, but underneath the surface the roots had no room left to breathe. More water couldn't fix what only being replanted could. In many ways, that's what happens when activity grows and intimacy with God shrinks to the edges.

Thankfully, Jesus offers a better way. Not another list to manage, but an invitation into spaciousness with God. And I want to offer you a place to imagine that possibility for the year ahead.
