THE GOOD DAY

As The Good Day turns THREE (3 whole years, can you believe it?!), the biggest change is... there's a new face around here! Meet Will!

It's that time again... sharing the stories read and wisdom gained in the last year. Reading at least one book a month - here are my favs!

It's time to build the church. Again, we see God use an unlikely person, who endures shipwreck and imprisonment to spread the Good News.

How do we experience God? How can we step into His presence in our ordinary, everyday lives?

"Never trust a man whose TV is larger than his bookshelf." Ouch. Inspired to read more this year and sharing a few of my favorites with you!

Reflecting on this last season - a season of patience - makes me realize the embrace/wrestle relationship I have with patience...

Reflecting on the change in our lives, helps us learn to embrace each season for what it offers and, in doing so, draw us into gratitude.

The DIY mentality, when it comes to faith and our hearts, is completely overrated. Let's not let insecurity keep us from genuine connection.

In "I Spy," there's one unspoken rule. As adults, we're not playing "I Spy" but we still follow this same rule everywhere we go.

Letters - even those from the ancient of days - can serve to remind us we are not alone and we always have a reason to rejoice!

I'm not sure what's heavy on your heart. But, I do know we can all use more faith. What if five minutes could do just that?

This letter was a simple reminder of friendship, selflessness and how God can use us in unexpected ways to be a light in a dark world.

In a world filled emails and phone calls and texts and DM's and tweets, a plain piece of paper holds newfound intimacy.

Whether rewinding a show or our lives, we're able to see things we missed the first time around and understand the purpose of the season.

What do we do when the person we need doesn't show up? What if that Someone is God?

The thoughtfulness behind the gesture always speaks the loudest. And the opposite is equally as strong - we don't want to be forgotten.

Whispers are powerful. Our ears - even our hearts and minds - have a tendency to listen to these ever-so-soft voices. Who is speaking?

Sometimes, the surface is a mask. Often, there's a lot more beneath the surface if we date have the courage to look.

Never have I ever said, "I have chills." But now, I get to eat my words. Evidence of God's faithfulness brings a lot more than chills.

Is one word really that powerful? Can it call us to a higher standard? What word will it be for you this year?
