I noticed dust on a few things around the house this week, and it made me think about seasons when my Bible has gotten a little dusty too.

Some days really do feel like more than we can handle on our own. I’m thankful God doesn’t ask us to face those days with only our own strength.

Open enrollment always comes with the reminder: don’t wait too long. That made me think about 2 Corinthians 6:2: “Now is the day of salvation.” Some things are too important to keep putting off.

I just learned about something called "sensor drift," where a harsh environment can slowly throw a safety monitor off. It made me wonder how often life does the same thing to my heart.

I realized I tend to rank my days, and Monday usually lands near the bottom. But Psalm 118:24 reminded me that every day God gives us is still a gift... even Monday.

Octopuses dream. Otters have favorite rocks. Rats laugh when you tickle them. I came across something this week that made me stop and think about just how incredible God’s creation really is.

I love a good superhero story, but the more I think about it, the greatest rescue story is the one Jesus gave us.

Sometimes I know I should say something about Jesus, but fear gets in the way. Acts 4 reminds me I do not have to create boldness on my own... I can ask God for it.

Shame can make you feel like you’ve messed up too badly to come back to God. But 1 John 1:9 reminds me that His forgiveness is bigger than anything in my past.

Our AC repair taught me a pretty simple lesson: confident doesn’t always mean correct. It's a good reminder to keep coming back to God’s Word.

I blamed my bad mood on waking up on the wrong side of the bed... but really, I had just let one frustrating thought turn into another. It was a good reminder that where my mind goes can change the direction of my whole day.

Do you ever notice how discouraging your own thoughts can be? Psalm 103 reminded me that sometimes I need to stop and remind myself of what is true about God.

I can sometimes think of sin like getting "written up"... one more mark against me. But Ephesians says sin actually grieves the heart of God.

My older car needs a little engine cleaner sometimes when things start getting gunked up. My heart can be the same way. Psalm 51:10 has become a pretty simple prayer for me: “Create in me a clean heart, O God.”

I pulled apart a head of lettuce that looked perfectly good on the outside and found bugs hiding underneath. It reminded me that people may see the outside, but God sees what’s really going on in my heart.
