Welcome to Day 25 of Resetting the Rhythms of Life! Yesterday, we made a gentle, intentional plan to be wise about what we fill our homes with. Less is more, remember? Today, we are going to simply have a day of reflection on what we’ve been working on so far this week: how we abide, pray, and create warmth in our homes. Settle into one of these ideas. Pray with today’s Scripture verse to discover how God wants to speak…
Today is Day 24 of Resetting the Rhythms of Life. This week, we are focusing on our fourth (and final) theme: Refreshing Our Homes. So far, we have reflected and pondered about how we want to abide within our homes and how we pray within our homes. Today, let’s get a little practical. Let’s make a plan. Not a complete overhaul … but a gentle, intentional plan to be wise about our homes … how we abide in them and…
Today is Day 23 of Resetting the Rhythms of Life. As we continue our theme on home, I would like to reflect on how we pray within our homes … Welcoming God Into My Home In the quiet of the early morning, I tiptoe downstairs and make coffee. As it brews and I wake up, I gather my prayer book, Bible, journal, and favorite pen. I find a blanket to curl up underneath. With hot coffee in hand, I make…
Welcome to Week 4 of Resetting the Rhythms of Life. Only one more week left! I hope the last three weeks have encouraged you to renew your prayer life, reclaim family time, and refocus your attention on habits that will contribute to resetting your rhythms of life. When my life feels overwhelming and imbalanced, and when I grow weary from being too busy with schedules and commitments, my home tends to get neglected. I like a neat and tidy home,…
We have reached the end of our third week of this 31-days series on Resetting the Rhythms of Life. I continue to be so grateful that we are on this journey together! As we end this week of refocusing our attention, let’s review what we covered over the past seven days. We paid attention to the self-care and soul-care habits that will help us reset the rhythms of our life: sleep, relaxation techniques, ways to glorify God that also care…
Welcome to Day 20 of Resetting the Rhythms of Life! Today, we are going to remember all the ways the Lord reminds us of His love, mercy, peace, grace, and strength. Because just like reminders of an upcoming birthday party, meeting at church, or next week’s doctor appointment, we need reminders from the Holy Spirit to keep us focused and attentive on what matters most. Scripture Reading Take a few moments to quiet your heart. Breathe in and out. Read…
Yesterday, we focused on the very real things that weigh us down. Not just our busy schedule or hectic pace of life. But the things we can’t control but we have to endure … I pray you were able to find some hope in the present moment … to remember that God is WITH you in the midst of it. He offers strength, refuge, and companionship at every moment of our lives … Today, Day 19 of Resetting the Rhythms of Life,…
Welcome to Day 18 of Resetting the Rhythms of Life. In our quest to refocus our attention on self-care or soul-care, let us spend a little time being present to the things that truly weigh us down … the things that are chronic … the things that are too big for us to handle alone. Let’s remember that we’re not alone! The Lord is with us! He fights for us, as we still our hearts and rest in His love….
As we enter Day 17 of Resetting the Rhythms of Life, we’re going to check in … Where we were, where we are, and where we want to go. Scripture Reading Take a few moments to quiet your heart. Breathe in and out. Read today’s Scripture verse. “I can do all this through him who strengthens me.” — Philippians 4:13 After reading the verse once, read it one or two more times. What stands out to you? A word, feeling,…
Today is Day 16 of Resetting the Rhythms of Life, and I would like to continue refocusing our attention on what we do to take care of our bodies, minds, and spirits. Yesterday, we focused on sleep. As you recall in the first week, we entered into a spiritual rest in the Lord. In a way, these two types of rest go hand in hand. We need both. And when we enter fully into the rest we need, we are…
