Hello, my friend!

I hope you’re having a great week!

After a dreary Monday and Tuesday (that literally cast a shadow over Monday’s eclipse!), the sun is now shining brightly, the skies are clear, and it’s a perfect 70 degrees outside.

I hope you got some eclipse action where you live! My mom lives in East Texas, in the “path of totality” (that sounds like a 90s Arnold Schwarzenegger film) and had a phenomenal view! The awe I saw etched into people’s faces online who shared the experience across Texas made me think of the absolutely astonishing, breathtaking splendor every believer in Jesus will see – regularly! – one day when we travel “beyond the veil” and behold wonders unspeakable! I can’t wait! (1 Corinthians 2:9).

GIVEAWAY WINNERS!

I have to kick off today’s Top 4 by congratulating the winners of my The God Next Door

And thank you to everyone who participated!

 

FAMILY FIRST

 

“If you want to love and serve the church, the community, and the nation, you must first love and serve your family.” – Rod Dreher

 

THE WAY OF CONSISTENCY

 

“In theory, consistency is about being disciplined, determined, and unwavering. In practice, consistency is about being adaptable. Don’t have much time? Scale it down. Don’t have much energy? Do the easy version. Find different ways to show up depending on the circumstances. Let your habits change shape to meet the demands of the day. Adaptability is the way of consistency.” – James Clear

What’s one thing you can do today to adapt and scale down based on the demands of the day to keep you moving toward your goals?
