My Story...
“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
Matthew 11:28-30 (MSG)
What an invitation! At some stage or another, most of us have experienced one of the conditions mentioned in this scripture. Life’s ups and downs can make it a bittersweet experience, but what truly matters is how we journey through it all.
The phrase “Unforced rhythms of grace” captivated my heart the first time I read it. It seemed like the perfect summation of Jesus’s character and His loving relationship with us as His children. (And if you think this doesn’t apply to you because you’re not a child of God, think again. We are all His children, whether we accept it or not. He created us all. So, why not read on and journey along for a while?) His loving, unforced omnipresence surrounds us at all times, inviting us to glide into His slipstream.
“Unforced rhythms” suggest a movement that is natural and effortless, like floating on your back in the ocean, carried by the rhythmic motion of the waves. It’s a position of relaxation and surrender, where you’re effortlessly drawn along on a journey.
This site was born from a desire to help people understand what a life of unforced rhythms of grace means and, even more importantly, how to attain it. How do we achieve this perfect positioning and life that Jesus is inviting us to? When life feels like a struggle, how can we find the rest He promises?
If this resonates with you and you desire to experience this, come along and journey with me. Together, let’s explore God’s Word to discover His design and patterns for life and how we fit into it all. This is part of my journey, too—a path of experiences, lessons, and revelations I’ve been blessed to uncover through Jesus’s guidance and inspiration. Sometimes, it felt like stumbling upon treasures of unforced rhythms of grace by chance. But I know better. Jesus promises in His Word that the more we seek Him, the more He will reveal Himself (John 14:21). I now see it as following breadcrumbs He lovingly left for me to find, leading to the fullness of life He desires for us.
This journey has taken time, and I’m still learning and discovering by His grace. But I feel compelled to share what I’ve learned so far with fellow travellers seeking “the more” that life in Jesus offers. He shows us a way of living that is unforced and natural when we follow His patterns and principles. His Word and His Holy Spirit guide us every step of the way. As Ephesians 1:3 reminds us, God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in Christ. We don’t have to live in survival mode. Challenges will come, but we are not victims.
I’ll be sharing articles about patterns, principles, truths, and lessons designed to help you discover a lifestyle of unforced rhythms of grace. It’s a life that is meaningful, purposeful, authentic, and fulfilling—a life that allows you to fully express who you are meant to be.
This mission may sound ambitious, almost like something for Ethan Hunt from Mission: Impossible. But it’s not unattainable. Any feeling of impossibility comes from the “life-drift” we’ve experienced—a drift far from our original blueprint. Jesus’s invitation in Matthew 11:28-30 is proof that this life is possible. The key to attaining it is found in Him.
My prayer is that the stories, revelations, principles, and lessons I share will inspire and equip you to stay on this journey. Not just to endure, but to thrive and become all God intends you to be. As you grow and develop, you’ll bless others, discovering wholeness and living out your unique purpose.
Enjoy the journey with Him…
