Dear Friends,

As the pace of life begins to shift and new rhythms emerge - whether you're preparing for a school year, transitioning seasons, or simply feeling the tug of change - August gently invites us to pause and realign.

This is a sacred opportunity to ask:
What truly matters in this season of my life?
What have I said yes to that may no longer align with my values or calling?
Where do I need to place “first things” first again?

Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:33 gently but powerfully re-center us:

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

When we prioritize His presence, His peace, and His purpose, we find that everything else begins to fall into place, with greater clarity, joy, and margin. Flourishing isn’t about doing more - it’s about doing what matters most, with intention and grace.

Let this month be a soft reset. A return to simplicity. An invitation to say yes to what’s life-giving and release what’s just…busy.

Prayer:  "Father, thank You for Your gentle invitation to seek You first. In a world full of noise, demands, and distractions, help me to quiet my heart and realign with what matters most. Give me the clarity to discern what to carry and what to release. Fill me with peace as I reorder my days, and give me the courage to say yes to the best and no to the rest. May my life reflect Your love and Your priorities, not the world’s. In Jesus’ name, Amen."

Holistic Wellness Tip: Set Your Intention to Put God First

Before the demands of the day begin to pull at your attention, give God your first and most focused 15 minutes. Find a quiet space, breathe deeply, and simply be with Him. Pray, listen, journal, or just sit in stillness. This sacred start will anchor your day in peace, clarity, and purpose. You don’t have to strive - just show up with an open heart and let Him speak life over your schedule, your soul, and your steps.

🕊️ Cool Resource: Creating Rest in Our Homes

If we long to reorder our lives around what matters most, our homes are the perfect place to begin.

Not by rearranging the furniture (although that’s fun too 😉), but by intentionally creating an atmosphere of peace, margin, and grace. A home where rhythms are restful, not rushed. Where our spaces speak life, not stress.

This month’s free resource, Creating Rest in Our Homes, offers simple yet powerful ideas for cultivating calm, clarity, and spiritual renewal right where you are. It’s not about perfection, it’s about presence.

As you read, consider:

* What is one space in your home that feels restful? What makes it that way?

* Where do you feel tension or visual overwhelm - and how might you invite peace into that space?

* What’s one small daily rhythm you could shift to make your home more aligned with God’s peace and your values?

Let this be a gentle nudge to bring more shalom - wholeness and peace - into the atmosphere you live in every day.
