That was me late last year. I had planned to keep up with this blog, my writing, and all the creative projects I love. But somewhere along the way, I noticed a quiet distance from God. 

The end-of-year rush revealed that I was getting lost in the hustle and bustle.

Do you ever feel like that?

You’re doing all the right things: serving, showing up, staying committed. 

But deep down, you feel it: you’re tired, not just in your body, but in your soul. 

The good things aren’t filling you like they used to. You’re starting to drift—not in disobedience, but in distraction.

What I thought would be a short pause turned into five months of silence, slowness, and soul-searching. My rest had officially turned into a reset.

And it’s been life-giving. 

After praying about what’s next, I have decided to ease back in, not with pressure or perfection but with intention. 

Jesus was never in a hurry, even though He had more to do than anyone who ever lived.

He paused for people, made time for solitude, and always moved in step with the Father. 

If we want to walk with Him, we can’t rush ahead. We need to move at His pace—one step at a time.

So… how do you know if you need a reset?

Sometimes, you don’t just need a nap or a day off. You need a heart check.
