The Last Page Isn't the End

🌞 Holy Moments in Ordinary Days: A Summer Reflection Series

Week 9

We’ve lived a lot of little stories this summer. The slow mornings with coffee that finally stayed hot. The job interviews where you dressed from the waist up for Zoom. The Target (well not Target because you know we are supposed to be boycotting it) runs where you went in for paper towels and left $87 poorer. The late-night phone scrolls that led to tears, prayers, or both. The texts you wanted to send but didn’t.

All of it points to one truth: God is still writing.

It’s easy to feel like a chapter ended too soon. The job you really wanted goes to someone else. The relationship you thought was the one slowly fades to “delivered” but never “read.” The dream you’ve prayed over seems permanently stuck in the loading screen.The house you had your eye on? Gone in 48 hours, again.

You start thinking, Well… maybe that was the last page.

But here’s the thing about God... He never writes half-finished stories. Even the plot twists you didn’t see coming are just setup for the next scene. Some chapters have to close so the next one can begin. The one you can’t even picture yet, but will one day look back on and say,“Oh… now I get it.”

If this summer has taught us anything, it’s that holy moments aren’t only in the big breakthroughs. They’re in the slow middles, the endings we didn’t choose, the quiet Saturdays with no plans, and the text messages that come at just the right time. They’re in both the chaos and the calm.

So as the season changes, take this with you: The same God who met you in the ordinary will meet you in the unknown.

Scripture to Sit With

Philippians 1:6 (NIV)

“…being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Pause + Ponder

What storyline in your life feels “unfinished” right now?If you trusted God to keep writing it, how would that change how you feel today?

Small Step This Week

Wrap up your summer with gratitude. Write down 5 moments from the past few months, big or small, where you saw God’s hand. Let them remind you that the next season will hold holy moments too.

And just like that, we’ve reached the last page of Holy Moments in Ordinary Days. Nine weeks of noticing God in grocery store aisles, in delayed flights, in paychecks that stretched just enough, in laughter that healed something deep. The blog series might be ending, but the holy moments won’t. Keep your eyes open... your next one might be today.
