From spontaneous coffee dates with dear friends, to bringing Lizzie (our puppy) home, to concerts where we worshiped our hearts out, to getting hired to do a job I absolutely love, to being loved and cared for by a man who is seeking Jesus; I had no control over any of these happenings. 1/8/26
THANK YOU, DEAR READERS
Blogmas has never been about productivity for us. It has always been about presence. About carving out space in a noisy season to remember why the Light came, why hope still matters, and why faithfulness, especially the unseen kind, is never, ever wasted. And the fact that you chose to walk through this season with us, is something we do not take lightly. 1/1/26
HOLY SUBTRACTION (BLOGMAS DAY THIRTY-ONE 2025)
I’ve always been fascinated by this verse, as it doesn’t call us to pile on the goals and new year’s resolutions. We aren’t asked to do 100 things. Nope. Just one. “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness…” It actually calls us to holy subtraction. 12/31/25
ON NEW YEARS AND PAST YEARS (BLOGMAS DAY THIRTY 2025)
I’m not going to pretend we haven’t heard this before. But I am going to assert that so few of us have acted on this message, the world around us feels no compulsion to change, and I will also state that this is a serious problem. One you and I will answer for in Eternity. 12/30/25
SHADOWS OF GREAT THINGS TO COME (BLOGMAS DAY TWENTY-NINE 2025)
Foster gratitude within your heart for Christ’s death, thanking God that we can have a relationship with Him if we are covered by His blood. Revel in the anticipation of the day you will see Him face to face and all will be made perfect. 12/29/25
A LITTLE LITANY (BLOGMAS DAY TWENTY-EIGHT 2025)
Happy Sunday, dear readers! I thought this was a lovely poem for this wintery day. Enjoy! 12/28/25
O COME (BLOGMAS DAY TWENTY-SEVEN 2025)
When we celebrate Christmas, we celebrate the mystery that God has become one of us – so that He could save us from the curse of sin and death, giving us new life as the children of God. And as the song’s refrain invites us to sing, “O come, let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.” 12/27/25
JOY OR HAPPINESS? (BLOGMAS DAY TWENTY-SIX 2025)
So, this year I want to look like that on Dec. 26th and on Dec. 27th and all the days to come. I want people to see my joy is found in Jesus; not in the temporary things of this world. I want it to be so contagious they just can't help but get a little Jesus on them. 12/26/25
