The World According to Kerina

Stop. Think. Then Walk.

“The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways.” Proverbs 14:8 NIV

There is a kind of wisdom that doesn’t shout, rush or panic. It stands still, listens, considers, weighs, and then moves with power and purpose. Solomon calls it prudence. Heaven calls it maturity. And Proverbs 14:8 tells you exactly what it does. It “gives thought to its ways.”

The prudent don’t drift. They don’t make decisions out of impulse, insecurity, or irritation. They pause long enough to ask, “Lord, is this You?” This is the same wisdom that says, “The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty” (Proverbs 22:3 NIV). Wisdom doesn’t wait for the storm to hit before seeking shelter, it hears the whisper of warning and moves. And again Scripture says, “The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty” (Proverbs 21:5 NIV). Blessing follows diligence, loss follows haste.

Your life tomorrow will be shaped by the decisions you make today. Your peace, purpose, future, relationships, calling, all rise or fall on whether you think before you move. Be prudent. Think about your choices, your patterns, your responses, your circle, your steps before you take them.

NASA astronaut Bob Hines took this picture of the waning crescent moon on May 8, 2022, as the International Space Station flew into an orbital sunrise 260 miles above the Atlantic Ocean off the northwest coast of the United States.

This is because everything in my life requires work:

maintaining friendships

keeping up with my hygiene

managing bills

making money

remembering my basic needs

sleeping regularly

outputting creatively

All requires some aspect of work for me.

And when everything in your life requires work, your balance goes out the window.

If you're neurodivergent and overwhelmed — I see you.

If you're chronically ill and overwhelmed — I see you.

You're not dysfunctional.

You're not incapable.
