Repair in Progress: Moving Through the Fires
There are seasons that don’t feel like balance. They feel like the fight to return to balance. One month you’re dead slow, counting days and receipts. The next, everything hits at once: double hours, bigger invoices, long days on your feet. You’re grateful, but the body remembers the hunger that came before.
This is that season. The double-down. The “work while you still can” phase. The one where you don’t have the luxury of waiting for stability, you build it with your own hands while the ground still shakes.
It’s not even about getting ahead; it’s about leveling back to zero. Rent, bills, benefits cut, the government flickering like a light that can’t stay on. And still you move.
Because movement is how you pray now. Because you’ve learned that repair requires participation. Because even in the mud, the spirit says: act.
It’s time to move.
For those journaling through the rebuild…
If you’re in a season of repair, not resting, not rising, just rebuilding , you’re not alone. This part of the journey doesn’t always look pretty. It’s early mornings, doubled hours, unanswered prayers that turn into quiet instructions: keep going.
These prompts are for the ones walking through the fire and the mud at the same time, for those holding faith in one hand and a timecard in the other. Take what you need; leave what you can’t use yet.
What does “repair in progress” look like in your life right now? Where do you feel the universe quietly fixing what you can’t?
When was the last time you worked not out of ambition, but out of necessity, just to return to level ground?
How did that shape your sense of strength and gratitude?What are you rebuilding that no one else can see yet? Describe what it feels like to move before stability returns.
What small signs remind you that healing and progress are happening beneath the surface? (Think: a breath, a cancellation, a moment of ease, a chance encounter, a kind gesture.)
How do you balance action with faith? What does it mean to participate in your own repair while trusting what’s beyond your control?
