We often focus on the storm, but I’ve been thinking more about the sunshine.

Noah didn’t start building the Ark when the clouds turned grey. He built it during the long, hot days when the sky was clear and—to everyone else—there wasn’t a raindrop in sight. His safety during the flood was the result of a thousand quiet, mundane days of hammer and nails.

In my own life, I’ve realized that my “ark” isn’t built in a crisis. It’s built in the early mornings when I’d rather sleep but choose to open my scriptures instead. It’s built in the moments I choose a soft answer over a sharp one. These are the daily habits that keep us afloat when the rains eventually come.

I’m currently working on my “patience plank”—trying to find the Lord’s hand in the delays rather than just checking items off my to-do list. It’s a slow build, but I know it’s necessary.

To my subscribers: I’d love to hear from you today. Noah’s obedience was a daily commitment, one plank at a time.

What is one small habit or “spiritual plank” you are adding to your foundation right now to stay prepared for life’s storms? Please share in the comments below so we can encourage one another!
