Rooted, Not Rushed is HERE!!!

I chose this pic because this is how my friends feel, laughing that me of all people are writing about being rooted, not rushed 😂
Really though, I’m going to be totally honest with you: Book launches make me SQUIRM.
I don’t know if it’s the fact that you’re supposed to talk about something in 583972 ways and I just can’t. I think to myself, “these people are going to RUSH right up outta here if talk about being rooted, not rushed one more time.”
Or if it’s the fact that I realize you have 483972 things coming at you all day long. As I’m typing, I segwayed to the Target app because the deal of the day popped up. Case. In. Point.
Or maybe, it’s because I know your REAL LIFE has 583972 things going on. Like, if we could sit down, we’d all be crying and laughing by the end because there is just a lot.

But here’s what I am also realizing and sensing the Holy Spirit call me to speak to + live out: You will absolutely keep chasing and postponing your JOY if you keep letting the world determine your pace and priorities.
WE KNOW THIS. It’s nothing new. In fact, it’s trendy! And yet—here many of us are, living lives and becoming people whose peace is fragile, joy is circumstantial, and hope feels wearily thin.

This book? Well, first, we must read our Bibles. DEF buy and read The Living Word before this. But I do believe it is an honest, very practical, hope-filled way to recognize our blind spots, open our eyes to the present, and STOP living so scattered so that we can actually PLANT ourselves and bear fruit.

Captions are frustrating. It’s impossible to convey my heart through a short amount of characters but I hope you can feel my gratitude.
My plea for us to be people of prayer, not panic, about the future.
For our souls to know the heart of the Father so that we stop living out of scarcity or self-protection.
For us to SLOW DOWN so that we can actually LOOK like Jesus.
The inner-atmosphere of your soul. The deep place. For that to become settled in something that is actually secure.
Because then? Oh, the JOY that comes.

That? That’ll change your family. Your friend group. Your future. It’s the Holy Spirit having His way.

I pray this for all of us 🤍 RNR OUT NOW
