When I pick a word for the year instead of a list of resolutions it simplifies my goals. It helps me focus on one thing. There is power in that focus.

My emotions can be so overwhelming. Most of us get so tired of trying to tackle our emotions that we simply let them lead. In my life, this is a recipe for disaster.

We spend so much time comparing with others that we don't take a hard look at our own lives. I know this is true for me. I can feel that emptiness when I start to compare seep in. It feels like what someone else has was stolen from me.

My rhythm and reset this year will be receiving and giving grace. I'm thinking that receiving God's grace this year won't be much fun...

Eleanor Roosevelt prayed this prayer nightly. I love it. I am going to steal it for the next ten days and I'm inviting you to join me....

Planting seeds inevitably changes my feelings about rain.

God doesn't just forgive our sin, He can use our repentance to bring us closer and renew us.
