If you’ve ever felt like: You live paycheck to paycheck Your mind won't stop racing You have brain fog You struggle to find your next step This is for you. The issue is that you are living in a scarcity fog.

When you use your hands to create, you bypass the "humming mind" that stays stuck on worries and to-do lists. It opens a doorway for you to stop talking at God and start walking with Him. You realize that wisdom isn't usually a lightning bolt—it's the quiet, generous gift that fills the spaces where you once felt only silence.

You don’t feel God's presence because there is too much noise in your day-to-day routine to hear him. We want the sky to crack open. We want Him to say, "Michele, do this." When we don't get the pyrotechnics, we assume we’ve been met with the same cold spiritual silence the Israelites felt during four centuries of slavery. Remember, Moses wasn't hunting for a miracle that day; he was just trying to keep track of his sheep.

How loud is your mind? Are you at peace, or does your brain run non-stop? Perhaps you’re replaying the last conversation you had at work, reviewing the schedule for your kids' activities, or thinking about what you need to discuss with your husband. All this noise creates a “mental fog”—and mental fog is a fast track to spiritual exhaustion.
