In the time of Herod, we long for God to break in.
Advent begins in fear and waiting—not denial.
Even in silence, God is listening. Hope is being born.
🕯️ Luke 1:5–13 | Lam. 3:55–57

Five loaves. Two fish. A miracle of imagination.
Jesus took what was there and did something new—and saw beauty where others saw failure.
God created us to create.
We already have what we need to bring change. We just need the courage to imagine it.
