Rest is as holy as work. So again this weekend, I want you to pause for 10–15 minutes and write about this: Describe a moment when you knew God was guiding your steps — even if you didn’t recognize it until later. How would you bring that moment alive in a scene, or shape it into a short devotional? No pressure for polish — just let the words spill. If you’d like, share a few lines below so we can celebrate your growth together. Remember: every word you write is still seed. Keep planting. 🌱

Happy Labor Day, Everyone, I hope you’re finding a little time today to rest and to pour into the craft. Even if it’s just a few minutes, let the words out. Please keep in mind that there is no pressure to post every day — remember, this Lounge is self-paced. I will encourage you to keep a google doc or word notebook for daily prompts, but certainly share as often as you'd like. We’re on a marathon, not a sprint, and each of us carries different goals that we’ll be sharing in the weeks ahead. For now, let’s continue growing comfortable with the platform and carving out small blocks of time to release our thoughts as often as possible. The consistency is what shapes us. Keep writing, keep breathing, keep growing. Remember, every word is a seed! 🌱
