45 | Attentive to His Presence: Preparing Room in a Noisy Season
Attentive to His Presence: Preparing Room in a Noisy Season
In this gentle beginning-of-Advent episode, we step from the fullness of Thanksgiving into the quiet invitation of Christmas. Episode 45 centers on the A in the GRACE framework—Attentive to His Presence—and offers a peaceful, grounded pause in the midst of holiday busyness.
I share a tender garden story from this week, filling my new raised beds with cardboard, branches, and garden debris—an unexpected picture of Advent preparation and the hidden work God does beneath the surface of our lives. We explore how December often pulls women in many directions, and how Advent invites us to slow, soften, and notice the God who is already with us.
This episode is a sanctuary for overwhelmed hearts, offering Scripture, reflection, and simple practices to help you enter Advent with intention and peace.
