I one time heard a sermon on, or maybe a podcast about, how in Genesis 1 God creates and then He says, “It is good.” “Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good!” Genesis 1:31 NLT In the beginning, God declared us good. We should start our …

Open heart.
Yesterday I shared how I have been thinking and practicing living with an open-handed mindset. Accepting what is, with open hands able to give and receive whatever comes. I also think we must cultivate an open-heart. An open-heart to love and to life and to possibilities. We seem to think it is much easier to …
Home.
This quote, “We're all just walking each other home.” I've been thinking about it, searching to understand it, learn from it. A lady I follow on Instagram posted the quote and shared, "Such a great reminder that we need each other. Are you surrounded by a community that reminds you who you are, that supports you …
God is with us. He never changes.
God is with us! With us in all our emotions, in our fears, doubts, overwhelm, challenges, conversations, as well as our joys, celebrations, and fun. There is an ebb and flow to all of life. Practicing awareness of God with me in all things is so helpful for me. Practicing awareness that God never changes. …
Acceptance.
“’We are meant to live in joy,’ the Archbishop explained. ‘This does not mean that life will be easy or painless. It means that we can turn our faces to the wind and accept that this is the storm we must pass through. We cannot succeed by denying what exists. The acceptance of reality is …

Today I finished re-listening to The Book of JOY. I found it to be so insightful and full of wisdom for living a joy-filled life. It …

thankful awareness.
May we be found practicing thankful awareness. Amen. Continuing to think about giving thanks, I think sometimes we often forget to be thankful for the "small things" of life, or maybe we take some things for granted, until we don’t have them, or they are not working, like, we should be thankful we woke up …
give thanks.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 tells us, “Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Psalm 92:1-2 “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, And to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your loving kindness in the morning and your faithfulness every night.” 1 …
somedays.
For me. Somedays are just harder than others. I’m more emotional. I lack motivation. I feel overwhelmed. I don’t know where to start. I don’t know what next steps to take. I feel like nothing is going right. I feel like a failure. I wonder does anyone care. Yet, at the same time, I know …
