Take heart, friends. None of the struggles we are

Take heart, friends. None of the struggles we are currently facing has taken God by surprise. He is unperplexed by the wicked schemes our enemies have sown. Rather, He employs every hardship for our growth and His glory. He hasn’t changed: What men intend for evil, God will always use for good.

When my husband was doing his medical residency, h

When my husband was doing his medical residency, he had an attending physician who truly seemed bewildered by Doug’s happiness. “Why are you always so cheerful?” he’d ask. “You’re poor. You live in a ratty apartment. You work insane hours. What do you have to smile about?” The contrast was even more irksome in light of the attending’s personal unhappiness. He lived in a mansion, had a high paying job, and was well-respected in his community. Yet he was miserable & dissatisfied. So what could explain this huge difference in their attitudes? Bottom-line, it was the Lord. Yet even Christians can have a difficult time cultivating contentment. On a day-to-day level, much of the difference lies in our mindset. If all I can see is the negative, I may need to change my focus. When I walk into my backyard, I can see dirt, weeds, & slugs. But I can simultaneously find green grass, singing birds, & vibrant blooms. It all depends on what I look for. The same is true of my child’s room. Depending on how I view it, I’ll notice dirty socks on the floor, dust bunnies in the corners, and an overflowing trash can. But by lifting my eyes, I’ll spot the beautiful artwork-in-progress spread across the desk, the pile of books on my voracious reader’s night stand, & maybe even the uneasy teen herself who’s watching me inspect her space and hungering for my approval. And the same thing applies to my body. When I look in the mirror, do I bemoan the wrinkles gathering on my forehead? The bladder that refuses to do its job when I laugh or sneeze? The baby weight that stubbornly clings to my middle nearly a decade past my last pregnancy? What if, rather than perseverating on my perceived shortcomings, I rejoice over my strengths? Strong arms that can carry grandbabies, groceries, and garden clippings with ease? Eyes that can see the smiles on my children’s faces, the glory of a beautiful sunset, and (with help from my dollar-store readers) the soul-stirring words on a written page? What if I feel genuinely grateful for a sound mind that can recall names & faces, construct a rational argument, & compose a letter to a friend...

Psalm 100 is one of my favorites. My choir often sang it when I was in school, and I can’t read it without that tune running in the background of my memory. Do you know any Bible verses whose every recollection comes accompanied by music like that? #makeajoyfulnoise #thanksgiving #gospeltracts

All decked out for “Decades Day” at our homeschool co-op. We went as the 1770s, 1860s, 1960s, and 2020s. Can you tell which of us is which? #raidingthecostumecloset #anyexcusetodressup

“And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19) He clothes the lilies of the field, feeds the birds of the air, owns the cattle on a thousand hills. It will not overtax His infinite resources to care for you, as well. #godisgood #allthetime
