Have you ever noticed how easy it is to overlook the small things? We tend to pay attention to the big moments… the big decisions, the big prayers, the big steps of faith. But most of life isn’t made up of big moments. It’s made up of small, quiet ones that can feel almost invisible….
Have you ever noticed how following God feels clear and exciting at first… and then somewhere along the way, it just gets hard? Not sinful hard. Not rebellious hard. Just… weary hard.

Have you ever had one of those moments where you just stop and think… “I don’t know how I’m going to do all of this.” Not in a dramatic way. Just… real. That kind of tired that sits a little deeper. The kind where your mind is running through everything that needs to be done,…
