Yesterday, I heard a line in a message that I want to share with you: “Don’t try harder. Come closer.”
Drawing closer and walking with God doesn’t always look the same. Each season carries its own rhythm and weight. If I’m honest, a lot of the difference isn’t Him…it’s me.
We all know what it feels like to be the child who runs ahead, the one who cowers back in fear, or the one who stubbornly sits down in the middle of the road-refusing to take another step.
But Jesus’ yoke-His way-is perfectly fitted for each of us. Not heavy. Not forced. Custom-made for the life He’s inviting you to walk. And He doesn’t hand it to us and walk away. He steps in beside us.
Some seasons, walking is steady. Other seasons? It looks like the third image here-blurry, out of focus, dizzying. The kind of season where simply standing back up feels like an act of faith.
And yet… God-rich in mercy, steady in His love-meets us there. He brings order to the chaos. He guides. He illuminates the path forward as we continue to show up, seek Him, and trust Him with what we can’t yet see.
These lyrics have been on repeat in my heart lately:
“And I’m gonna fix my eyes on Jesus
Walking with the One who walks on the sea
I’m gonna give my life to follow
Speak to me and I’ll go
Wherever You lead.”
Fixing my eyes on Jesus, I am making space to prepare for what’s next: The Presence & Pursuit Podcast, launching in spring of 2026. I type this with shaking hands and a holy reverence of the way God has spoken so clearly that this is actually happening 😳I am a “need a neon sign to make a move” kind of girl. While I’m working on dropping my nets and moving as soon as He speaks, the Lord has given undeniable confirmations. I am so thankful for the way He always mysteriously trumps my logic.
I’m still working behind the camera and will continue to share beautiful newborns and families. A loose plan is in place for behind the scenes and answering DMs for sessions. As always, emailing me is the fastest way to book a session [email protected].
If you want to go on this new journey with me, DM your email to join my email list. I’d love to share this walk with you along the way 🤍 -LP
