I’ve recently gotten hooked on watching videos of people getting facials on TikTok. I don’t know if that makes me lame or weird or just old, but I don’t care. It’s so relaxing.

During my quiet time this morning, I was reading a devotion about the importance of continuing to pray, even when God seems silent. I’ve read a lot of devotions about this particular topic, but this one was different. This one contained a story that I can’t get out of my head, so I wanted to share it with you today.

A couple summers ago, I went to the doctor to get some antibiotics for a cuticle infection I had on my left hand (gross, I know). When I was sitting in the room with the doctor, she asked me if I was allergic to any medication, and I told her no, because, at that time, I had never had a negative reaction to any medicine I’d been given.

From the moment we saw the house, one of our favorite features was the big fenced-in backyard. We had no doubt our golden retriever, Sparky, was going to love having a big yard to run around in because it was the total opposite of what he had been used to since we adopted him a few months prior.

It was a morning just like any other. My bed needed to be made. I had a ton of writing to do. There was a basket full of unfolded laundry that was begging for my attention. And I had a mile-long to-do list to tackle. So how did I choose to start my morning? With a Starbucks run.

We have access to the most helpful tool we could ever have in this life. God’s Word has a lot to offer us when we need guidance and direction. The Bible has so much to say about relationships, finances, conflict management, work, anxiety, trust, forgiveness, purpose, identity, and so many other things. It’s the best place to go when you need advice on how to live the life God has marked out for you. So if you have access to that, why wouldn’t you use it?

Well hello friend! It’s good to be back! If you are a regular reader of these devotions, you probably noticed that I didn’t post any new content on Thursday or Friday of last week. What started out with some technical difficulties and ended with a round of food poisoning, the end of my week last week did not got at all as planned, hence the gap in my content creation schedule. But I do appreciate you showing up and reading once again even when I fail to be as consistent as I want to be. I’m super grateful for the extra grace!

One of the biggest lies I believed early on in my faith journey was that my faith in God had to be perfect. Any time my faith wavered or doubt crept in, I immediately felt like I had failed or disappointed God. I felt guilty at the thought of even questioning God or wondering where He was in the midst of my circumstances.

My friend Johnna sent me a text this morning, and at the bottom of the message, she wrote, “Thanks for doing life with me, friend. The good, the bad, the hard, the fun, all of it.” It was such a simple statement, but it was also a beautiful summation of what it’s like to live in Christian community. It’s not always pretty and it’s not always easy, but boy is it all worth it.
