Serving up only the Good Stuff for you & your people right here:
some winter sweetness to start off your weekend…
YES!!! to find our true purpose…
“…we can reject God’s existence but we can’t stop wanting him. We were made in his image, and we’ll never find ourselves until we find ourselves in him.”
ohhh such a good reminder… for us all
okay you just have to read this one! what a great secret to keep!
there is always such joy in giving, serving, loving and sacrifice.

“Your life doesn’t inspire you because comfort and pleasure isn’t inspiring.”
– so good –
this song – whatever you do, don’t miss this one!
*inspiring quotes for helpers from Mr. Rogers*
– now that’s a song to keep on repeat –
Did you see this?! We are *so* excited about this!
So you know that playlist in your head that plays over & over on all our digital screens,
that somehow got stuck on repeat?
Truth is, social media streams can beat you down with a refrain of inferiority —
that becomes the beat of the song that pounds around in your heart,
beating up parts of you & shattering your sense of security.
Maybe it’s time for a new song! A BRAVE SONG!
That tells you who you *really* are…are you ready to start a new mental playlist?
(Really. Your soul will thank you for this one.)
Tired of Social Media’s Soundtrack That You’re Less than?
You Really need this BRAVE SONG About who you Really Are
Because we all need a Brave Song:
The simplest of truths, told through the sweetest of songs, can change the world.
Which is exactly the refrain of our very first children’s book Your Brave Song!
We all need a hope song,
a courage song,
a song that assures that our our bravery doesn’t come from inside of us,
it comes from knowing you’re loved by the One who created love and is Love Himself.
Your Brave Song includes:
❤ A page to attach your child’s picture that makes this a uniquely personalized kids’ book
❤ Exquisite hand painted, acrylic artwork by illustrator Amy Grimes
❤ Inspirational prose about finding your security and identity in Christ
❤ A rhyming song that kids can memorize easily so that they can return to its truth every day

When troubles comes
He’ll be our fortress
We know that those who place their hope
in Him will not be ashamed”

…at the end of the week, and you can look up at the calendar today and exhale:
It’s okay to feel bone tired —
you have One who gives His bone and His body for you and beckoned: Come Rest.
It’s okay to feel disillusioned —
you have One who destroys cheap illusions of perfection and offers you His.
It’s okay to feel done —
you have One who listens to the last nail be driven in
and proclaims all the hellish things finished.
It’s okay to feel battered and bruised —
you have One who storms your battles,
takes back everything that needs a comeback,
and proves His side won.
It’s okay to not feel okay —
because you have One — who made you His one.
You have One who left the clamor of the 99,
to find you, remind you, remake you, rename you, release you.
You have One who is more ready to forgive what you’ve done,
than you are to forget, One who is more ready to give you grace, than you are to give up,
One who is more than ready to always stand with you,
than you are to run.
One who is a greater lover, rescuer, saviour, friend—
than you have ever imagined Him to be even when your love for Him is most on fire.
Today, these worries, this world, may leave you feeling a bit depressed —
but you have a God who is obsessed with you.
It’s beautiful how that goes:
Whatever the story is today — it’s okay.
Because we know the ending —
and how it will be the beginning of the truest happily ever after.
Whatever the story is today — it’s okay.
Because the Writer of the story has written Himself
into the hardest places of yours and is softening the edges of
everything with redeeming grace.
That’s all for this weekend, friends.
Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.
Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again
Share Whatever Is Good.
