I hope that this guide will serve you well when you need scripture to direct and encourage you in the upcoming year (and beyond). It provides references, sorted by relatable common circumstances.

Broken Sword
A toy sword broke. But Papa assured our little warrior that it could be mended. He brought out two rolls of thick, strong tape. “Which would you like? Black or red?” “Red!”, came the reply. “Okay, here...”, Papa tore off enough to provide a strong repair and went to place it on the sword. “No! [...]
Turn That Lie Upside Down
I believe that often when we are fed a lie about ourselves; the truth is found when we flip the lie upside down. I have battled many of these. Turning them over in my hands to find where the truth is. Here is one of them:A nagging whisper saying that I don’t quite fit in [...]
Freefull
Often it feels like there is a constant barrage of fear based information flying at me (I love y’all but if I allowed every word said to control me; I would be nearly frozen in paranoia). Every post, story, and article is barking about something I should be worrying about. I should be worried about [...]
Turn for the Tide
Part One: The Glow . Our leader quickly explains what I will need to hurriedly write down.

That ball came flying into the stands. There was a collective gasp. Heads ducked and little Ezzie scrambled to victory. Something just as rare as a foul ball landing at one’s feet happened to me today. I crawled into cool sheets in the middle of the afternoon and slept. Not once did my phone ring [...]
Enough and Not Enough
We are in the thick of toddler emotion. Knee high and everything an emergency. He cries when he wants something and cries when he gets it. He asks to be picked up and then begs to be set free. And it can be all too easy to grow tense and tired. Our desperation is surely [...]
Avocado Cucumber Salad
I wanted to document this before I forget how I made it. I didn't actually measure anything, but this is a close estimate. It turned out bright and refreshing, with a satisfying blend of creamy and crisp. It's salty, tangy, and just a little spicy/sweet. In other words, it hits all the notes and leaves [...]
