Good morning, beautiful Soaking Room family. Just a warm reminder that we’ll be gathering today at 10:00 AM EST on Zoom to rest, breathe, and soak together. Come as you are. Bring your heart, your stillness, your weariness, or your joy — there’s space for all of it. Can’t wait to be with you in the quiet and in His presence. Join us here: https://us05web.zoom.us/j/4361048765?pwd=ZVXzWUqNwhuEDahOt9gOb6aGSUa6Wg.1

Dear Soaking Room Family, Happy Thanksgiving! I’m so deeply grateful for each of you. The way we encounter God together—resting, listening, and simply being in His presence—has been such a gift to my heart. As you celebrate, may His peace wrap gently around you and your home. “Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.” – Psalm 107:1 You are loved, you are seen, and I’m thankful to walk this journey with you. With warmth and gratitude, [Tara Willis]

What Does “Waiting in the Presence of God” Actually Mean? Waiting in the presence of God—often called “soaking”—is simply resting before God with an open heart. It’s not about striving, performing, or saying the right words. It’s about: 🌿 Being still—quieting your spirit and letting your heart settle. 🌿 Becoming aware of God’s nearness—trusting that He is with you, even if you don’t “feel” anything. 🌿 Letting go of agenda—choosing to receive rather than achieve. 🌿 Allowing Him to speak, heal, refresh, and fill you in His own gentle way. 🌿 Resting in His love—like sitting with someone who cares for you deeply. It’s less about doing something or requesting something and more about simply being with our Heavenly Father—letting His presence shape your heart, quiet your mind, and strengthen your soul.
