🌹 Emily’s Female Saints Fest
Nov 24 – St Flora & St Maria 🌹

Got sick before Nov 15, took a sick day, dragged myself into work (mistake), then collapsed all weekend 😷
Even saints had burnout.
Holiness includes rest.
Thank God for hybrid working.

Oct 27 – St Procula 👁️ I'm posting this a couple of days late.
Pilate’s wife who dreamed of Jesus’ innocence.

Sometimes being right too early looks like being ignored.
