Hey Reader,

Can you believe Thanksgiving is almost here?
​
​The holiday season rushes in so quickly, and honestly… stress can feel just one breath away.

I’ve never been one of those women who breezes through the holidays with perfect calm.
​
Between planning Thanksgiving dinner, prepping the day before, and diving into Christmas shopping (or maybe you’ve already started!)—it’s easy to feel overwhelmed before the celebrating even begins.

And then come the gatherings.
​
Friends, relatives, different personalities, unexpected comments… some moments are sweet, but others stretch us thin.
​
That’s why choosing surrender—rather than stress—is such a gift to our hearts.

Give Me a Teachable Spirit

A teachable spirit gently reminds us we don’t have all the answers—and we don’t have to.
​
It’s a humble posture that says, “Lord, I need You.”

When David prayed, “Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God,” he admitted something beautifully simple:
​
​“You’re in charge… I’m not.”

Those six words—for You are my God—are pure surrender.
​
They invite us to shift from self-reliance to divine guidance.

Our culture tells us, “Be strong! You’ve got this!” But Jesus invites us into something calmer and deeper:
​
​“You don’t have to have this… because I do.”

Walking in God’s will isn’t something we automatically know how to do.
​
It’s something we learn—quietly, slowly, daily—as we spend time with Him and allow His Spirit to lead our steps.

Sweet friend, choosing surrender over stress begins right here… with a teachable spirit.

Next week, I’ll be sharing the Christmas Bible Reading Plan along with beautiful resources to help you enter December with peace, joy, and intention.

Journaling Prompts for a Teachable Heart

Take a few quiet moments with your journal this week and reflect:

• What stress am I holding that I need to surrender to Jesus today?
• Where is God inviting me to depend on Him instead of myself?
• What does “Teach me to do Your will” look like in this season of my life?
• How can I create space each day to listen for God’s gentle leading?

Even a few minutes of reflection can soften your heart and steady your steps.
