Beneath soft skies & hidden peaks, the heart remembers how to listen. Exodus speaks of mercy passing before us. The Trinity reminds us that love remains present among us still. In every season of pilgrimage, grace gathers the weary & the hopeful alike. There is holiness in walking together toward what cannot yet be fully seen & peace in trusting the Presence that goes before us.

🙏🏼 The Ascension isn't only about Christ rising, but about humanity being drawn toward divine life. The waiting & believing echoes the days between Ascension & Pentecost, when the disciples - including women - remained in prayerful expectation. It emphasizes interior ascent through faith. This is also a clear biblical grounding for women who wait & believe. ⌛
