THRIVE THURSDAY! I’ve Been Quiet for a Reason

Preparation Requires Presence

It’s been two weeks since the last Thrive Thursday but it feels like it's been 2 months.

And honestly? That absence came with good reason.

First—my wife and I are adjusting to life with our newborn son, Emory. And let me just say this plainly for every parent reading this:

Infants are beautiful… and exhausting especially when there's a toddler in the house to accompany them.

The sleep shifts, the constant attention, the unpredictability, it’s stretching me in new ways. But even in the exhaustion, I’m grateful. There’s something sacred about being present in these early moments, even when they come with little sleep.

Second, I’ve been deeply focused on preparing for the Get To Worthy Summit, happening this Saturday.

Not just preparing logistically but spiritually.

I’ve been trying to consecrate myself and protect my focus leading into this weekend because I genuinely believe this gathering matters. Too many people are carrying silent battles, emotional fatigue, grief, confusion, and pressure without safe spaces to process it.

And this summit was created for exactly that.

“Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.” - Joshua 3:5 (NIV)

That verse has been sitting with me heavily this week.

Sometimes preparation looks productive.
And sometimes preparation looks like pulling back, becoming still, and protecting your spirit before what God is about to do. That’s where I’ve been.

REFLECT + RESPOND

What in your life currently needs your full presence and attention?
Where might God be asking you to slow down and prepare spiritually?
What distractions do you need to release in this season?

You were made to thrive.
And sometimes thriving means honoring the season you’re in while preparing for the one God is bringing you into.

With you on the journey,
– Nate
