Finding Rest and Support:
“Today, I’m reflecting on the hope that my sister finds rest and joy during her visit. I look forward to spending quality time together, whether it’s through fun activities or simply decompressing. I hope she can experience a breakthrough or a sense of relief from her daily stresses, especially as she navigates life with two toddlers and the pressures that come with family dynamics. At the same time, I’m feeling a bit nervous about my responsibilities as treasurer, grappling with feelings of imposter syndrome regarding financial matters. I pray for clarity and confidence in my upcoming meeting.”
