THE GOOD DAY

"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?

Contentment and thankfulness - what can we learn from those on our on our street corners and resting behind buildings in our towns?

Borrowing a line from Charles Dickens when it comes to expectations - "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times."

Opinions. We all got ‘em. How do we make sure these don't control us? How do we approach the intimidating middle ground of opinions?

How do we find joy and peace in the midst of our shaky circumstances and the events of this world? Maybe the answer is all around us.
