The heart is the most important organ in your body. Not only does it pump blood to the rest of the body, but it also holds the meaning of your existence. The heart is precious and deserves protection. After all, everything we do flows from our heart. So, we must keep our hearts pure, so our actions are pure.

January is almost gone and as I think of the last month, the word ‘permissible’ seems to continually come to mind. Have you ever been given an opportunity that sounds great on paper, but doesn’t seem like it is the best option for you?

There is a time for everything. Do you remember a parent or grandparent sharing this with you? Perhaps you heard the Byrds sing a version of this?

A few years back I started the tradition of making a family calendar each year, with photographs from the previous year and 12 Bible verses for each of the 12 months.

Last winter, on my 29th birthday, I wanted to reach another goal and check another dream off my bucket list by the time I turned the big 3-0. I spent a few weeks considering what goal would be worth pursuing based on my interests and values.

I have always loved looking at people’s hands. I love my husband’s hands, especially the older he gets. They are large, rough, and starting to show his age. I love my mom’s hands— they’re beautiful and show the years she spent raising her daughters, caring for her elderly mom, and helping me with my kids when they were little. I love my dad’s hands—he is ninety years old and they look very similar to this picture you see. These people that I mentioned are known for their hands, and hands represent a life lived.

This fall I am on the home stretch of a goal to read through the Bible in one year. I wrapped up the Old Testament during the dog days of summer, which gave me a new perspective on persistence in patience, and am finally reading the good news in the fresh air of fall. Wrapping up the Old Testament during the dog days of summer and reading the good news in the freshness fall brings. It has been a joy to read of new life and new freedom in the new season.

Information overload. Do those words ring any alarms for you? They do for me, especially right now in the times we’re living in. Everything feels so heavy in the world—and it is! Sometimes I feel overwhelmed. Do you? I think it’s okay to admit when we are not “okay”. One place I often feel frustrated is while I’m on social media. There are such great things about social media and I am an advocate for all of them. I love to be a light in that corner of the internet and I do believe that God can use each of us who belong to Him, even through our social media accounts. A frustrating side of social media is reading everyone’s opinions on everything under the sun.

What do you do when life disappoints you? Or what about when it’s someone who lets you down? How do you handle those moments in life?

Whether we want to admit it or not, each of us has faced the blow of rejection at some point in our lives — whether personal or professional. No one in history has been spared the bitter taste of this (Jesus included; His rejection was something else altogether! See Isaiah 53:3.) and sometimes, it can feel like a real struggle to move past it.
