Holiness is hiding in the ordinary days.

Your ordinary, hidden acts of love are more lovely than you might know. When I was a child, our days weren’t on display like items in a shop window hoping to catch the eye of a passerby.

Hyperconnectivity convinces us to contort our lives into special shapes to garner likes, follows, and feedback. This mindset makes it easy to dismiss the beauty hiding in the ordinary parts of our lives.

These tasks may not be worth capturing in your camera roll. Boring often isn’t worth mentioning. When our minds are trained on staying relevant, it’s easy to ignore what may be the very thing God wants to use to draw you closer to Him.

Your Advent Companion

Every year I start my planning for the season strong. I gather all my Advent resources, sign up for all in the inbox offerings, pick up whatever is offered at Church and promise that this year will be different. I set up a schedule for how I am going to utilize all the great spiritual inspiration in my morning prayer time and on my bedside table. I even promise myself that I will take some time midday to check in with the Advent reading. I have high hopes and a big stack of materials.

Advent Sneak Peak!

Halloween has hardly passed by and there are already Christmas decorations in every store I enter. Thanksgiving receives a short shrift in our little portion of the world because of the overwhelming need of each retailer to capitalize on our purchasing power and inability to say no during the last two months of the year. 

I hate to jump on the bandwagon forgetting the day of Thanks, but I could not wait to share a sneak peak of my latest project.
