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.

School is OUT!!!

Today was bittersweet for me.  I am happy its summer break, but that means we only have 2 years before we have a MIDDLESCHOOLER!  I cant believe we are that close already!  Both girls had a great day.  I got soaked walking to get Madispn, then the rain slacked off enough for me to have buckets of sweat rolling into my eyes!  It has been so humid here that i sweat as soon as i go outside let alone walk the more than 1/2 mile to her school.  We are starting a new walking track tomorrow... not sure how far but its gonna be fun to see

sad but true

Since the Pledge of Allegiance and The Lord's Prayer are not allowed in most public schools anymore Because the word "God" is mentioned...... A kid in Arizona wrote the attached NEW School prayer: Now I sit me down in school Where praying is against the rule For this great nation under God Finds mention of Him very odd. If Scripture now the class recites, It violates the Bill of Rights. And anytime my head I bow Becomes a Federal matter now. Our hair can be purple, orange or green, That's no offense; it's a freedom scene. The law is specific, the law is precise. Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice. For praying in a public hall Might offend someone with no faith at all. In silence alone we must meditate, God's name is prohibited by the state. We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks, And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks. They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible. To quote the Good Book makes me liable. We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,...
