When you choose to celebrate the good even when the bad seems like its winning.

When your color coded To Do list is the only thing standing between you and unchecked chaos.

When we’re trying to figure out how to love the Lord when we feel like too much…and when we feel like too little.

When the way your plants survive the move process gets you thinking about spiritual growth (plus some just for fun extras).

When you just want to get back to normal and can’t imagine that the challenge you’re going through could lead to something far better than you could ever imagine.

When love of a dog reminds you of the love of God.

When you are definitely not prepared for Christmas (or possibly anything else) and you wonder if the very act of being underprepared is trying to tell you something.

When you’ve worked hard on your plans only to have the unexpected completely derail them.

When you’d rather rub hot sauce in your eyeballs than ask for help.

When you’re stuck in the middle and aren’t sure how things will turn out…or even how to talk about them in the moment.

When you feel as though you have nothing left to offer.

When we, as adults, still need some parenting.

When we have unanswered prayers that lead to unwanted feelings.
