Choose Faith for One Simple Thing
Like an umbrella shields us from the rain, faith covers us from the questions and fears that flood our souls. When storm clouds gather, rain can sprinkle in a mist or pelt in torrent and an umbrella is only as good as the using of it in the moment. Raise the umbrella of faith over the banter of doubt that echoes in your ears and tugs at your insides. Rest in this moment standing under the power of one holy choice to trust God, to hang onto hope.
One Simple Antidote to Worry
Isn't it easy to grab hold of a verse and try to stick it onto our souls like a bandaid? As if one quick fix and the bleeding of our hearts will stop.

Simple Grace to Overcome Worry

The Opportunity of This Moment

One Simple Thing: Living Whole
Holiness moves through the small things, grace for the moments, simple and short. If we reach for the grace of holiness in this moment, what difference could it make?

Maybe this is a struggle for you as well. If so, let's encourage each other! The temptation is to look ahead and want to panic. Or maybe just hyperventilate a bit. That's the temptation but not the truth.

Grace Defined
Grace is like oxygen; we simply must have it in order to breathe and survive the crazy days on this planet. Like air that fills our lungs and fuels the cells of our bodies, we are often unaware that we are constantly breathing grace. As we begin this new year, how many ways is grace expressed in your life?
