I hope you’re enjoying reading along with us, and if you’re just getting here, you can catch up on Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 on the blog! I decided to summarize a little at the bottom of this for my own thoughts, but hopefully it helps you sort out where we are on Day 4, too!

The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps. – Proverbs 16:9 Letting Go and Leaning In God promised in the Bible that we would run into problems. He told us that if we chose a life for Him, people would be against us. If we did what He asked, we would be persecuted. He didn’t…

Greater things than Jesus?! That seems ridiculous, right? How could we do anything more miraculous or any greater than Jesus? But maybe great, doesn’t just mean in stature, but in number… Think about our connectedness in the world today.

Every night before my kids go to bed, they list what they are thankful for. It started as a quick way to get them to think about all that they have, but it has turned into much more than that. They often spin off into a reflection of their day, saying what they hope for for tomorrow, and what they…
