Sometimes we forget the faithfulness of God as we Sometimes we forget the faithfulness of God as we face a difficulty. ⁣

When we stare at mountains impossible to move, it’s time to remember how God has already led us through. ⁣
.⁣
Here is one practice to help you face your hard circumstances:⁣
.⁣
1. REMEMBER YOUR STORY.⁣
.⁣
Some of my favorite Psalms celebrate the story of the Israelites. ⁣
.⁣
They recount God’s faithfulness in their past. ⁣
.⁣
You also have a story. Whether we've followed Jesus for five minutes or fifty years, we can all trace his hand in our lives when we pause and remember.⁣
.⁣
Sometimes, turning back helps us to move forward. ⁣
.⁣
We can trace God’s faithfulness, which give us courage to trust him—even in the mess of our lives.⁣
.⁣
DO: Read Psalm 105.⁣
.⁣
QUESTION:  What would be included if you wrote a Psalm of Remembrance? How have you seen the faithfulness of God in your past?⁣
.⁣

Imperfection. . Today I strived for imperfection. Imperfection.
.
Today I strived for imperfection.
.
We checked off the boxes with e-learning.
.
We spent time on Legos, stop motion, and our youngest put on a show.
.
And we made imperfect cookies.
.
The old me, the one who had to do everything right, would have brought out a stack of books and made them read. 
.
I would have put icing in piping bags and felt the pressure to make stylized Instagram photos.
.
But the thing is, the more I'm learning about God's grace, the more I'm learning to live in it.
.
And the more I walk in freedom, a lot of stuff doesn't matter.
.
And the joy in my home, and the peace in my heart, are all the better for it.
.
Do you ever try to make things perfect?
.
Come on, I know you do.
.
Just let things be regular. Let's embrace regular with lots of love.
.
Because then it becomes more beautiful than perfection.
.
Grace over picture perfect.

There was that time we knew God was calling Jason There was that time we knew God was calling Jason to pastoral ministry. And we left everything I ever knew to follow that vision.
.
We didn't know the valleys we'd have to endure .
.
The tragedy. The poverty. The loneliness.
.
There was that time when we questioned the road and wondered if we should travel another.
.
Maybe this dream was a mistake.
.
But the Spirit of God would not let us veer. The vision was clear. The obedience costly.
.
And so we kept going.
.
And every time I watch my husband do what he's been called to do, I smile.
.
.
if you are in that space of wondering if you can keep pace, just keep on taking one step. God will see you through or deliver you.
.
"Jesus said to them, `Come away with me. Let us go "Jesus said to them, `Come away with me. Let us go alone to a quiet place and rest for a while.' Many people were coming and going. They could not even eat. So they went away in a boat to a lonely place by themselves." Mark 6:31-32
.
I'm a crowd girl. I love the energy of the multitude—even digital ones like social media. I flutter around like a butterfly in a field of milkweed.
.
But sometimes, it's good to come away with Jesus and my closest loved ones.
.
I am going to take a social media break for at least a week. It will be hard, but good.
.
I will not be checking my social media messages or anything. But if you have my cell, you are welcome to text or call.
.
Do you ever need space to refocus? Be intentional? Listen?
.
Take. It. ❤️
When I tell my faith story, several pivotal moment When I tell my faith story, several pivotal moments have @calebwilds in them.
.
He was the guy God used to welcome me back into the church when I had strayed.
.
Quirky. Funny. And absolutely one of the best pastors I know.
.
He sees straight through your junk to the person God is forming in you. And does what he can, to draw that out.
.
My first job in ministry, was a door that he opened for me.
.
He encouraged my husband to ask me out.
.
He stood as the best man at our wedding.
.
He encouraged my husband in discovering his calling as a pastor.
.
He invited us to visit Dallas, which changed the projection of our ministry lives.
.
He cheers me on to write for ministry and create resources for the Body of Christ.
.
And most recently, he connected @jsonscot to the church that we are now serving at.
.
So when January 19th comes around, I think about the impact his life has made in our family.
.
Both Jason and I are blessed to have a friend like Caleb.
.
Happy birthday Caleb! The Scotts love you.
The trees in the back finally have snow. . So I wi The trees in the back finally have snow.
.
So I will sit here and enjoy my coffee as long as the silence lasts as the kids play outside.
.
How I have missed snowy branches!

Why I always round up when asked to donate to Rona Why I always round up when asked to donate to Ronald McDonald House.
.
We lived there for a month when my son struggled to survive his birth defect.
.
The floor of the bathroom became my altar.
.
And I am thankful for that room only a few blocks from my baby boy.

I miss my dad. . He's been gone 13 years, today. I miss my dad. 
.
He's been gone 13 years, today. I miss the way he would wrap his arms around me with one of his daddy hugs—that made everything okay.
.
He taught me that dreams take sacrifice and hard work. But if you dream big enough and work hard enough, dreams become your day job. 
.
He was an immigrant from Iran.
.
He came to the U.S. with $200 and a dream for a good education and a career as a civil engineer.
.
He served as an engineer in Vietnam and worked with a team that constructed the Port of Saigon—I have a copy of his commendation from the Navy.
.
And he landed his dream job that he worked for more than 30 years—rebuilding Los Angeles through the city's redevelopment agency.
.
His job was his career and his art. He dreamed of ways to preserve the old and meet modern uses. He enjoyed coordinating teams of architects, contractors, and designers to revitalize what some might see as places that should just be bulldozed. He was the ultimate nerdy re-purposer. 
.
We would go on dates and look at at his projects. He explained the challenges of using modern materials. The glimmer in his eye explaining his art taught me the pride of good work. And the joy of sharing creativity with others.
.
But most of all, he was my daddy. He believed in me. He cheered me on and sacrificed anything to help me reach my dreams. He wasn't perfect, but his love was deep.
.
Any time I called him at work—even if he was in a board meeting—he picked up the phone. His career took much of his time, but I knew I was his priority.
.
Letting go of him has been one of the biggest challenges of my life. Letting go and holding on.
.
If he could only hug my children.
.
At his funeral, a colleague of his said to me, "Greater than any building he built, you are his legacy now."
.
Those words seared into my soul.
.
So I dream. I work hard. I take the provision mom and dad left us, and I burn my candle at both ends studying and doing my art.
.
I may not build buildings. But I hope the thousands of words I craft in my lifetime, will build hearts.
.
LOVE YOU, DAD.
