He Is Good

He is Good by Leslie Ann Jones

It's been a little dreary around here over the past few days...I mean that both literally and spiritually.

I've had a lot on my mind. Lots of thoughts swirling around and clouding my vision. Nagging insecurities, uncertainties, and fears have tried to steal the light from my skies.

But the sun is there even when it's hard to see. And God is good all the time. When the sun shines and when the rain falls. He is good.

I snapped this photo earlier today as I dropped the girls off for an afternoon on the farm with Gran, and every time I look at it, I remember that with Christ, there is peace. There is truth. There is hope. And that is what I'm clinging to today.

Until next time, sweet friends, grace and peace.

When Life Interrupts

When Life Interrupts Your Plans by Leslie Ann Jones

I had big plans for this little spot this morning. They were plans of a hot cup of coffee, my Bible, my journal, and a couple of hours of uninterrupted quiet.

But then my littlest love woke up with a bad case of the sniffles, and we played hooky from school and got donuts on our way to the drugstore instead.

It's not the way I planned it, but that's OK. Life rarely turns out the way I expect it to, but I'm learning to roll with it. At least I'm trying.

So, instead of a morning out here, I'll take a bit of quiet time during naps instead. It all works out in the end.

I hope you're all having a wonderful week-after-Easter. My heart is still full of all the goodness of #HolyWeekWithJesus. I'm so glad I got to share it with you. I hope we get to read the Bible together again soon! I'll be leading a group through Ephesians this summer. More details to come as it gets closer.

Until next time, grace and peace.

Holy Week With Jesus: Reflections and Resources

Hello friends! I hope that your walk through Holy Week with Jesus has been rewarding. I thought it would be helpful to collect some resources for #HolyWeekWithJesus in one place. So, here, on this page, is everything you'll need to finish out the week.

I've included the free printable Holy Week reading guide, a Spotify playlist full of Easter songs, and short reflections on each day of readings. I've selected a key verse from each day's reading and created a simple graphic that you can share on social media if you want. You can find those on the daily reflection pages, linked below. Also, the other day, I came across some really helpful videos from The Gospel Coalition about each day of Holy Week, so I've included those on each day's reflection as well.

I'll update this list each morning for the rest of the week with new reflections for the day. May the Lord draw you ever nearer to him as Easter Sunday approaches.
