sin — Daily Devotion — Kristen Alexis Cave

Lately I’ve been trying to go on a walk every single day in an attempt to get my steps in. Working a desk job from home doesn’t exaclty require a lot of movement. So the daily walks help me be a little more active. Now, if you don’t already know this, I live in Northern Kentucky. And when I say northern, I mean it. We are only about 20 minutes from the Ohio state line, so we’re at the tip top of the state. And in the past two years of moving here I’ve learned the weather can be very fickle, which has made my daily walks quite interesting.

What Do You Need To Let Go Of?

One of my favorite shows to watch growing up was Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. If you’re not familiar, the show followed a crew of people who would bless a family with a brand new home, and they would build the home in a week while the family was on vacation.

How To Get Clean From Your Sin

Earlier this year, my husband and I decided to adopt a 10-week-old German Shepherd puppy. We named her Sadie, and I was obsessed with her from the get-go. I have wanted a German Shepherd ever since I was a little girl, so this was a dream come true for me. However, what wasn’t a dream come true was potty training this very stubborn animal who seemed to like using the bathroom inside much more than she liked using it outside.

Pride Comes Before The Fail

Yes, you read the title correctly. And no, I didn’t mean to say “fall” instead of “fail.” I think so often, when we get prideful, when we think we’ll never fail in certain ways, that pride and arrogance is what precedes our biggest mistakes and slip-ups.

The Dry Shampoo Method

I truly believe one of the greatest inventions in the entire beauty industry is dry shampoo. Can I get a witness? That stuff is a game changer. Back when I was in middle school and high school, I had to wash my hair almost every day. If I did skip a day, I ran the risk of my hair looking oily and gross by fifth period on the day after I washed my hair, and that was not a risk I often chose to take.

Praises and Prayers

C. S. Lewis once said, “Praise is inner health made audible.” If you are having a difficult time praising God in your particular situation, there’s a good chance that there is some darkness on the inside of you that you have failed to deal with.
