This snow has canceled my plans today. No church.

It has forced me to slow down, and I’m not a slow down kinda girl.

I like action, moving, working. I like knowing what comes next. So when a storm shows up and rearranges my day, my first instinct is resistance.

But this morning, something else happened.

The house got quieter. The coffee stayed warm a little longer. There was no rushing. No place to go. Just space.

I started to wonder if this wasn’t a disruption at all. Maybe it was an intervention by God.

An intervention asking me to stop long enough to hear what God is saying, instead of listening to the noise of my calendar.

So today, I’m choosing not to fight the pause. I’m sipping coffee in the storm. Letting the quiet do its work.

Sometimes God cancels our plans so we will finally listen.
