Cultivate Rest

As summer turns to autumn, creation reminds us that every season has its rhythm: a time to grow, a time to let go. In this guided reflection, Aimée leads you through a gentle examen — looking back with gratitude, releasing what is heavy, and opening space for what God is planting now.

Through scripture, silence, and prayer, you’ll be invited to mark this seasonal threshold with intention. Whether you feel weary or hopeful, this...
