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
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
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
THE OTHER CHRISTMAS STORY (BLOGMAS DAY TWENTY-THREE 2025)
When you pause to give thanks for baby Jesus, remember to give thanks for our King doing battle with a dragon. And this year, when you place your manger scene on the mantle, look for the red dragon. He’s there in the hay. 12/23/25
WHAT KIND OF PARENTS? (BLOGMAS DAY TWENTY-TWO 2025)
This solidified my need to work out the question: What kind of parents raise a Mary or a Joseph? What kind of father was Noah that his sons (and their wives) followed his “crazy” vision from God to build a massive boat? 12/22/25
BEFORE THE FLOOD (BLOGMAS DAY TWENTY 2025)
As we made our way through the Ark, there were various rooms full of biblical and historical facts which presented boldly and clearly the truth about God’s cleansing of the world. However, there was one spot that stood out to me the most. Let me tell you that after walking through it and seeing all of the depictions… It seemed too familiar. 12/20/25
CHRISTMAS CHOICES (BLOGMAS DAY SEVENTEEN 2025)
Two years ago, Vic, my husband went to be with Jesus. Over the last 2 years, I have been faced with lots of choices to make by myself. I have quickly learned that to walk victoriously in my life with Christ Jesus, my choices must be based on the Word of God. 12/17/25
DEATH IN BATTLE (BLOGMAS DAY SIXTEEN 2025)
If our own Savior, the Creator of all things, the ultimate Divine power of the world, deemed victory through and over death the ultimate plan of redemption, should we not also throw ourselves headlong into battle? 12/16/25
THE NATIVITY (BLOGMAS DAY FOURTEEN 2025)
Happy Sunday! We are so enjoying Blogmas and pray y’all are as well! Enjoy this rich and meaningful poem by G. K. Chesterton today. 12/14/25
A DRIVE THRU CHRISTMAS (BLOGMAS DAY THIRTEEN 2025)
Instead of settling for what is quick and convenient, how about we take our time, and remember that maybe “a drive thru” kind of Christmas will never truly satisfy the longings we all have. 12/13/25
EVERY ENCOUNTER, A CHANCE (BLOGMAS DAY EIGHT 2025)
Brothers and sisters, I also say to you, especially during this Christmas season, every encounter you have with another person, family, friend, co-worker, stranger, is a chance to improve their quality of life. You have the Good News; the simple Gospel, that WILL change the course of every person’s life and death. Every encounter is a chance. 12/8/25
WHY GRATITUDE IS A SPIRITUAL DIAGNOSTIC
Gratitude is more than a warm feeling you cultivate during Thanksgiving week. It’s spiritual warfare against idolatry. It’s a declaration of who you belong to. And it’s one of the clearest mirrors you have for seeing who you are really worshiping. 11/20/25
A FEW FAVORITES FROM THE MONTH OF OCTOBER 2025
Happy November! It’s safe to say October was one for the books! From new podcast conversations to special life moments, this past month was full of reminders of God’s faithfulness. 11/6/25
THE CHURCH’S RESPONSE TO A DESECRATED WORLD
The world cannot and will not be made holy until the Church is, and I am going to be bold and state the obvious: The Church has invited desecration in and is unwilling to part with it at the moment, which is making her unholy and largely ineffective. 10/23/25
DEATH AS A DARE
Over the past month, death has been a prominent topic of consideration in my life. When Charlie Kirk was assassinated, the grief and inspiration I felt mingled together within me was nothing short of indescribable. While his death was tragic, it held with it a question. 10/16/25
SOME UNRIGHTEOUS GRAND ASSAULT
So, even amidst such evil and this unrighteous grand assault, we are witnessing incredible growth as the Gospel is being preached more boldly and more clearly than it has been in quite some time. Of course, any logical thinker is then forced to ask the simple question, “Why?” 10/9/25
A WORLD WITHOUT…
Christmas may be over, but we have been reminded once again of our calling. To be that hope that Jesus showed us how to be. To be joyful in a world so sad. To be the love that people seek. To be the light that can never be dimmed. 12/27/24
FAITH AND OBEDIENCE
In this moment, I knew I had to stand strong, ignore whatever fears the enemy may tempt me with, and be bold in that courtroom. I had no idea what I was going to say walking in there, but I had a strange sense of peace. It was like the Lord was speaking directly through me, I had no idea what was happening, but because of my faith and obedience the Lord was able to do what I thought was impossible. 11/14/24
THE ART OF OBSERVING, NOT ABSORBING
My challenge for us, as true Believers, is to cultivate the art of observation. Let us intently study our world and the people within it. Let us educate ourselves about worldviews and religions. Let us understand how the enemy is presently deceiving lost souls regarding policies and politics.
A DIFFERENT CLOSENESS
One thing I have realized is that though this is a different closeness than the one I experienced a couple months ago, it is still closeness. Before, it was as though the Lord and I were walking calmly hand in hand, smiling at each other as we both walked into the plan He set up. Now, we’re bent over, head-to-head, our sweat is mingled together, we wear each other’s blood, and I keep asking the same question again and again.
