Create Your Whitespace

Have you ever longed for space in your life to breathe?  To rest. To journal. To connect with God — by just being you?

Make room for you. For God. For rest.

Create #spiritualwhitespace.

What is spiritual whitespace? It’s enjoying time with God to slow down and feed your soul, to rejuvenate and rest.

Whitespace.  It’s the space on a page left unmarked. It breathes beauty.  Without it, clutter takes over the page.  Just as beautiful art needs whitespace, we need spiritual whitespace.  We need rest.

Here’s the challenge:  Give yourself permission to feed your soul and rest.

Find your #spiritualwhitepace — and share your discoveries with us in community.

I’ll be sharing my whitespace moments.  I would love to hear yours. Let’s be kindreds.

Click on the latest Thursday Whitespace post below to receive this week’s writing prompt.

Other Whitespace Prompts: 

– moments of beauty and rest
– feeding your soul
– your alone time with God

Or choose your own open writing prompt.  Be you.

Here’s How It Works
