Dear Little Girl…Be Where Your Feet Are
While sitting on a beach in Mexico, I caught myself planning my next vacation instead of enjoying the one I was living. God gently reminded me that the treasures I keep searching for are often already surrounding me. Sometimes the greatest gift isn't knowing what's next—it's learning to be where your feet are.
Dear Little Girl,
You keep looking over the horizon. You want to know when the next chapter will begin.
When the next blessing will arrive.
When you'll finally feel settled.
When everything will make sense.
If I'm being honest, I caught myself doing the very same thing.
I was sitting on a beach in Mexico wondering when I would get to come back.
Isn't that funny?
I was already worrying about the next paradise while sitting in one.
“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
God gently whispered to my heart, Amy...you're missing today.
That same week, I found a heart-shaped shell.
Heart Sea Shell found in Huatulco, Mexico
A little later, I found a butterfly resting alongside the path. It stayed with me for hours, quietly opening and closing its wings as if it had nowhere else it needed to be.
Then it hit me.
Months ago, I chose those very symbols for my tattoo.
The heart.
The butterfly.
Love.
Freedom.
I smiled because it felt like God was reminding me that the things I keep asking Him for aren't always waiting somewhere in my future.
Sometimes they're already surrounding me.
Maybe that's true for you too.
Maybe today holds more beauty than you've noticed.
Maybe God has scattered little treasures all along your path—not to answer every question about tomorrow, but to remind you that He is already here.
Dear Little Girl,
Be where your feet are…
God already is.
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
With love, 🩵
Amy
Dear Little Girl…You Don’t Have To Chase God
You keep thinking you'll meet God in the next season. After the answer arrives. After life settles down. After everyone is okay. But what if He wants to meet you here? Right in the middle of your ordinary life.
Dear Little Girl,
The busy season is ending.
The performances have happened.
The schedules are shifting.
The deadlines that felt so urgent are beginning to loosen their grip.
And yet...
You still find yourself carrying things.
The questions.
The worries.
The hopes you have for people you love.
You thought peace would arrive when life finally settled down.
But peace was never waiting on a clear calendar.
Peace has always been a Person.
You keep thinking you'll meet God in the next season.
After the trip.
After the decision.
After the answer arrives.
After everyone is okay.
But what if He wants to meet you here?
Not in the finished version of the story.
Not after you've figured it out.
Here.
In the ordinary summer morning.
In the quiet cup of coffee.
In the walk around the neighborhood.
In the empty chair waiting for you to sit down.
You don't have to create a spiritual breakthrough.
You don't have to chase a feeling.
You don't have to prove your faithfulness.
Simply show up.
The same God who met Jacob while he was running.
The same God who met Hagar in the wilderness.
The same God who met the disciples in their fear.
He still meets people right where they are.
And He will meet you too.
Not because you've earned it.
Not because you've finally gotten everything right.
But because He loves being with you.
So take a breath today.
Let the pressure leave your shoulders.
You do not have to force the next chapter.
You only have to take the next step.
God is already there.
Waiting.
Love,
God
