I have! Sometimes we have this beautiful picture in our minds of how life is supposed to unfold. We make plans. We set goals. We imagine what the future will look like. And then life happens. A door closes. Our circumstances change. An unexpected challenge comes along. And suddenly we're standing somewhere we never imagined we'd be.

I'm talking about one of those laughs where you can't stop smiling, and when you think you've gotten yourself together, something sets you off all over again! Oh, how good those moments can feel! Life can be so serious sometimes, can't it? Between responsibilities, appointments, family, work, and everything else that comes our way, we can get so caught up in what needs to be done that we forget something...]]></description><link>https://www.sacredpausewithsoniabennett.com/post/don-t-forget-to-laugh-along-the-way</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6aed1ef61ea972c4609d99f5</guid><pubDate>Fri, 06 Nov 2026 00:36:42 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/38c97b_caa906480a9b43ea91e2404889fccd08~mv2.webp/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>sacredpausewithson</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Grief Meets Unanswered Prayers]]></title><description><![CDATA[Finding God's Presence When Life Doesn't Make Sense Have you ever been so overwhelmed by loss that you didn't even know what to pray anymore? Have you ever looked toward heaven and whispered, "Lord, why?" Why did this happen? Why so much suffering? Why didn't You intervene? Why does it seem like one heartbreak follows another? I have. Years ago, during the month of August, I experienced the loss of 22 people. Twenty-two.

I know I have. For so much of my life, I was the one caring for others, stepping in whereever I was needed, and trying to stay strong for everyone around me. I carried their needs, their pain, their worries-and somewhere along the way, my caring became carrying. In some of life's most hardest seasons, when I felt worn thin and unsure how much more I could bear, God began teaching me something beautiful.;...]]></description><link>https://www.sacredpausewithsoniabennett.com/post/healing-through-community-the-power-of-sacred-pause</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a3c072809be4f094fc2762f</guid><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2026 16:34:48 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/38c97b_cda9259bf1594ce6b7f7c1643795be19~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_768,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>sacredpausewithson</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Finding Rest: A Journey to Sacred Pause]]></title><description><![CDATA[Have you ever felt guilty for resting? Have you ever sat down because your body was exhausted, but your mind kept running through everything you thought you should be doing? I know I have. For much of my life, I believed that being productive meant I was accomplishing something worthwhile. I was a doer, a helper, a caregiver, and someone who was always willing to step in when needed.
