Watchful Hearts: Training for the Return of the King

And today, we stand in a sacred in-between. This is our final episode of Advent. And there are only three episodes left in this entire journey.That is not coincidence.Because Advent has always been about living in the tension between what has already happened and what has not yet come. Christ has come. Christ is present. And Christ will come again.Advent does not ask us to rush forward. Nor does it allow us to linger in the past. It calls us to wait with intention.Not idle waiting. Not anxious waiting. But a waiting that is awake, aligned, and grounded — a stillness that listens for movement.
