Recently I was walking with Georgia on a windy day. We hadn’t even made it down the driveway when the wind picked up a little bit. Georgia immediately stopped walking and put her head down. After a few moments she looked up at me and I encouraged her to keep moving. She eventually continued walking, with her tail wagging away.

This moment of Georgia fearing the wind made me consider how when the “winds” of life come my way, how they can cause me to pause. And honestly, I can put my head down like Georgia and get stuck from forward progress.

Can you relate?

If so, I invite you to join me to…

pause. breathe. pray.

When the winds of life come, may we honor the fact that they may stop us in our tracks and make us feel stuck. As challenging as it may be at times, may we choose to look to God asking for Him to help and equip us for the windy walk ahead. Then, trusting His strength is greater than the winds, may we take one step of faith forward at a time, just like Georgia did.

With love and hope,
Shawn
