Walking In The Rhythm Of Jesus.

If there was one post this year, I would ask you to save, read and share… it would be this one. And as I’m saying that, I still don’t think I could do my words justice with how deep I feel about this journey. But I’m going to try my best to fit so much into such a short piece.

For the past two years, I’ve walked through the Gospels again and again, returning to them like you’d return to a familiar song. Every time I opened those pages, God allowed me to see something different. At first, it was about the purpose. Then the disciples—so human, so relatable. Then came the lessons that felt as if they were whispered directly into my heart. And finally, I discovered something so beautiful, it’s taken me time to fully grasp it, let alone write about it: the rhythm of Jesus.

But I’ll be honest—this journey hasn’t been easy. Piece by piece, I’ve had to drop the things holding me back. The trauma, the unforgiveness, the chaos I’ve carried with me for so long. And while I’ve found this sacred rhythm with Jesus, I’m still very much in the process. I’ve realized I’m still an adolescent Christian, still learning, still letting go of the hard stuff, still discovering how far I have to go. Yet, even in the midst of all that, this rhythm I’ve found—oh, it’s precious. It’s sacred. It’s just me and Jesus.

It wasn’t until I stopped trying to keep up with the frantic pace of life that I began to follow His lead. The truth is, I wasn’t in step with the Lord for the longest time. My mind was always rushing ahead, my heart carrying wounds that felt too heavy to heal. But Jesus, in His infinite patience, kept showing me the way. He taught me that His rhythm isn’t hurried. It’s steady, intentional, and full of grace.

I’ve had to learn to walk forward, even when others around me weren’t walking at the same pace. Jesus taught me that it’s okay to keep going, even if it means leaving behind things or people that slow me down. That part hasn’t been easy either—learning to let go of the things that once felt comfortable or familiar. But as I’ve walked with Him, I’ve come to understand that His rhythm brings peace, the kind of peace I never knew was possible.

There’s something so beautiful about the way Jesus moved through life. He wasn’t in a rush, wasn’t overwhelmed by the demands around Him. He knew when to retreat, when to rest, when to be still. I’ve learned that rest is essential, even if it’s just finding moments of quiet in the middle of a busy day. Letting go of the distractions and the noise has been hard, but the reward is the peace I’ve found in His presence.

I also discovered something life-changing—there’s a verse for every situation, and the enemy cannot stand against the power of God’s Word. The more I walked with Jesus, the more I saw His compassion, His love, His patience, and yes, even His boundaries. And it was so beautiful. Oh, how I wish I could bottle the feelings that washed over me as I began to walk in His rhythm. How I bounced out of bed each morning, excited to meet Him within the pages of scripture, like He was waiting just for me.

Little me, who was stumbling through life, trying her best but tripping over everything. Me, the woman who always felt unseen, a burden, so insignificant. Me, who wondered if she would ever pull herself together and be the person she knew she could never measure up to. And all of that thinking… stopped me from seeing the simplicity of what He asks of us. To just take a step at a time. One foot after the other. Find the rhythm… His rhythm and simply walk beside Him.

I want this journey for you, too. I pray this sparks a fire in you to dive into the Gospels and meet Jesus in the pages. I pray you encourage those around you to do the same. He’s here, waiting, anticipating for you to walk in rhythm with Him. And trust me, you’re going to love it!

"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." — Matthew 11:28-30

With all my heart,
