Preparing My Heart for a New Week

Written By Lorena Hogarth

JOURNAL ENTRY #42

SATURDAY, JULY 25, 2026

Today I spent time reflecting on self-improvement and what it truly means to lead by example.

I want my light to shine as brightly as it possibly can — not for recognition, but so that others may see kindness, compassion, and hope reflected through the way I choose to live. Each day is another opportunity to become a little more like the person I believe I am called to be, while preparing my heart for the Wonderful World Tomorrow.

Today was also a much-needed Sabbath of rest.

After a full week, it was a gift to pause, to renew my spirit, and to simply be still. Rest has a way of refreshing not only our bodies but also our hearts, allowing us to begin a new week with gratitude and purpose.

May this Sabbath bring peace, renewal, and hope to all who observe it.

Happy Sabbath.
