🟢 The Green Room: The Rhythm of the Waves

Life moves like the ocean. There are high tides and low tides, steady rhythms and sudden crashes. The space between the waves—the quiet, the stillness—matters just as much as the surges. Can you be comfortable in the uncomfortable?

We live in a culture that glorifies the crest, the peak moments. The wins, the breakthroughs, the times we feel strong and seen. But real life happens in the in-between. In the pauses. In the slow rise and fall of the everyday.

Even the ocean knows it can’t stay in constant motion. It has to retreat, to pull back before it can surge forward again. We, too, need those moments of stillness. Time to rest, to be, to breathe. Authenticity isn’t just about showing up boldly—it’s about knowing when to be quiet, when to let the tide carry you instead of forcing your way through.

Jesus lived this rhythm. He healed, He taught, He loved with everything He had. And then He withdrew. He found solitude. He rested.

“He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. They were glad when it grew calm, and He guided them to their desired haven.”

—Psalm 107:29-30

There is holiness in the motion, and there is holiness in the stillness. Both are part of the rhythm. Both are necessary. Trust the tides. Trust the pauses. Let God meet you in the waves—and in the quiet between them.
