This is actually my first summer balancing my Bible study with my busiest sewing season. I’ve owned my Etsy shop for sixteen years, but this is the first year I’ve been walking with Christ while preparing for the Halloween rush. I’m realizing that my quiet time has to look different than it did this spring. Instead of large journaling projects, I’m moving toward shorter Scripture writing plans and simpler studies that I can actually finish while life is busy. One thing I’m learning is that faithfulness doesn’t always mean doing more. Sometimes it means choosing practices you can sustain through the season you’re actually living in. Has anyone else had to adapt their quiet time during a busy season?

I’ll go first 🙂 I’m a mom of four, and life here is usually a mix of kids, coffee, and trying to keep something creative going in the middle of it all. I’ve spent a lot of years making things—sewing, designing, building little systems that help life feel a bit more ordered and meaningful. Lately that’s been turning back toward my faith and finding simple ways to make space for it again in the middle of everyday life. I’m not doing this perfectly, and I don’t have a polished setup—I’m literally using glue sticks and whatever I have on hand most days. But I do show up, and that’s enough. Your turn: What’s your name, and where are you right now in your Bible or journaling?
