The beauty of beginning again

"His mercies are new every morning." - Lamentations 3:23

Sundays always feel like a gentle invitation to reset. There's no rush to open my laptop, no meetings waiting, no deadlines tugging at my attention. Today carried that soft, sacred, quiet - the kind that makes space for reflection. As we got ready for church, I found myself thinking about how often God invites us to begin again. He does this not with fanfare, but with subtle nudges. 

Greenville First Assembly not only welcomes me home, but grounds me. It may look like the family serving Reach Day, Ryan ushering, Maddie and I serving on Coffee team, or just attending. Today's service felt like a deep breath. With Ryan on the brink of starting a new job and the girls each stepping into new seasons of their own, our home feels like it's shifting in small yet mighty and meaningful ways. Sundays deliver the space to notice these shifts - to see where God is moving beneath the surface. 

Later in the day, we had our usual family check-ins with Angel and Chris, and the familiar comfort knowing we'd gather online tonight for our Sunday role play session. These rhythms remind me that beginnings don't always happen on January 1. Sometimes they happen on an ordinary yet extraordinary Sunday in February. 

As you prepare for the week ahead, think about this question: 

Where in your life do you feel God inviting you to begin again? 

If you'd like to dig in further, I've included a printable journal page where you can do just that.

Kenzie's day at school

Kenzie got off of the bus screaming, "Mom it snowed!" It was so cute. Then when I got into her backpack, I found her daily sheet with this on it... Kenzie had wrote her name (not perfect but she tried) and a note from the teacher above it saying "INDEPENDENT WRITING-- ONLY VERBAL PROMPTS!" I am so excited for her! We are definately getting somewhere. Then under the teacher comments part, I find... "SHE CAME IN TELLING ME IT WAS SNOWING-- SUPER EXCITED!" I too saw this when she got home! Construction Zone Newsletter Week 2 Dear Family, This week Kenzie will learn about solving problems. Using the topic "Build with Me," we will read stories about building things and working together to solve problems.

And WINTER is here!

I look out the window to see.... A BLANKET OF SNOW! It is covering my driveway, walkway, yard.... and we are expecting more this week! I think it is safe to say that winter has finally decided to come! Don't get me wrong, snow is pretty, but I don't like it because that means I have to drive in dangerous conditions! I would much rather be driving in tropical storm force winds and rain (I have done this! When all the hurricanes were going through Florida a couple of years ago!). Now on to other things... Saturday: I had a really busy day. I was at work and didn't think it would ever end. Admissions and falls and sending people to the hospital... stabalizing others and stuff that goes on in the health care centers all the time. Sunday: Zach forgot to add me back into the schedule, so I got off at 2pm. Rode home with Maxx since he lives in Jeffersonville and Ryan and the girls were going to be at his house anyway. When we got there we watched a little of the game an...
