Sacred Spaces Begin with Small Steps

When I wrote this chapter, I was reflecting on how often we wait for perfect conditions before we begin meaningful work. But Scripture reminds us—God rejoices in small beginnings. That truth shifted my perspective. A cluttered space, endless notifications, or constant interruptions aren’t just productivity hurdles—they’re spiritual distractions too. When we take small steps to create a calm, focused environment, we’re not just organizing our physical space—we’re making room for God’s presence to guide our work. This excerpt is a gentle reminder that we don’t need a flawless setup to honor God with our time and focus. Even clearing one corner of a desk, turning off one notification, or saying a short prayer before beginning can transform our mindset and invite peace. Focus isn’t about striving harder—it’s about surrendering to stillness and letting our space reflect the purpose within. My hope is that readers feel encouraged to start small, trusting that those quiet, intentional steps matter deeply to the One who called them to their work in the first place.
