Hi My Golden Friend,

There’s a moment in the story of Palm Sunday that has always impacted me:

Jesus doesn’t arrive on a warhorse.
He doesn’t come in loud or imposing.

He comes riding on a donkey.

Not fast. Not flashy. Not forceful.

Clear.

AND SPEAKING OF DONKEYS…. I am dying to show you my donkey pasture, which is FILLED with bluebonnets right now. I couldn’t resist filming my weekly video reflection out there (I was joined by Flash and Henry…perfect companions for this week)

​

This month I’ve been focused on Clarity, and I’ve realized that clarity doesn’t always look like bold declarations or dramatic moves.
Sometimes it looks like choosing the next right step… and taking it anyway.

I know from experience that a donkey doesn’t rush. It doesn’t perform.
It walks forward with steady purpose.

And somehow, that was exactly the right vehicle for that moment.

Maybe clarity is simpler than I thought:

Choosing your direction
…and moving toward it with quiet confidence.

Not louder or faster.
Just clearer.

Today, as you move through your day, here’s a simple practice:

Notice what feels true.
Notice what feels aligned.
And take one small step in that direction.

You don’t need a grand entrance.

You just need a willing heart…
and the courage to walk forward.

Even if it looks like a donkey.

With you in the steady steps,
Rachel
