Today is Day 26, and we will continue our final theme on refreshing our homes. Sometimes, we don’t necessarily long for a picture-perfect home. What we long for is peace in the present moment, in the present state of our homes, in the mess, in the imperfect. We long for a sense of God’s presence with us in the midst of the here and now. Could it be that we can refresh our homes by refreshing our mindset, by choosing…
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?

Pray with today’s Scripture verse to discover how God wants to speak…

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,…

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.

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.
