I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
and in his word I put my hope.I wait for the Lord
more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.Israel, put your hope in the Lord,
for with the Lord is unfailing love
and with him is full redemption.He himself will redeem Israel
from all their sins.
Today’s scripture reading is about waiting for God. Not passive waiting, but waiting with our whole being. As we await Christ’s return, our waiting is meant to be filled with hope. And that hope gives the waiting purpose and meaning.
As I reflect on my current season, I cannot help but notice how God’s plan has been quietly unfolding in my life. Last year, I asked God for direction and felt like I received no response. Still, in hope, I continued to pray daily. And after fully surrendering to Him, ideas are beginning to come—clearly and repeatedly.
I now see the things I want to do. What He has placed in my heart is becoming visible, and it is up to me to take steps toward fulfilling it.
I’ve been meditating more as I travel from place to place. Whenever I have a small pocket of time, I empty my mind and dedicate that space to Him. In that stillness, my eldercare business idea has started to take shape.
I shared it with a friend and she felt it could potentially work. The next step is to write out a proper plan so we can discuss it more seriously.
I thank God for this clarity. What amazes me about His grace is that it doesn’t come as a trickle—it comes in waves. The ideas keep flooding in. Even during my 45-minute sit this morning, thoughts around the business kept surfacing. There’s a fire to make it work.
There are still uncertainties, but they feel like problems that can be worked through, not walls that stop me.
This thought keeps returning to me: in the silence, God speaks.
When I restarted my meditation journey lasy year, my mind felt anything but silent. I often thought I wasn’t improving. I keep focusing on when the sit will end. But now I see that subtle changes were happening all along—just like how God works even when we don’t feel it. I look forward to my sits now and what new exciting thoughts I will have to push away.
That is the wonder of faith.
During today’s sit, my mind wandered often. Sometimes I caught it immediately, sometimes it took a while. Each time, I gently brought myself back to the breath, reminding myself that I have the whole day to work on my plans. This moment was for God.
When I did that, joy returned. The joy from the a-ha! moment of catching your mind wandering. The meditative sits seem to fly by in this joy instead of being a drag now.
As we complete the first week of 2026, I am thankful for how God continues to provide. It took time, but I feel like I’ve found a sense of purpose again. There is still fear and doubt about whether this will work—but I know I have to try.
I’ve been searching for a project I could truly believe in, and this is the first one where I can see direction and potential for growth.
It’s also beautiful how different phases of my life—writing here, meditating, reflecting—have all played a role in leading me to this idea. God truly guides us in unexpected ways.
I’ll still be keeping an eye on crypto as it begins to show signs of recovery. Having multiple meaningful things to focus on feels far healthier than lying in bed consuming and producing nothing.
Put your hope in the Lord. His unfailing love will bring you on journeys you could never imagine. He calls each of us to walk with Him in a unique way.
Do not lose faith. Pray about everything. He is always there, waiting to connect with us. Even when the waiting feels hard, He delivers on every promise.
Bet on His love.
