Day 2 of our Gratitude Challenge!

Day 1 of our 7 Day Gratitude Challenge!

As soon as my feet hit the floor each morning, my mind is hit with a thousand thoughts. Schedules. Tasks. People. Errands. Chores. You know the drill; I’m not special or more busy than anyone else. This is life. Fast paced and full, we hurry and hustle. I don’t mind full. But I do mind hurry.

I am not sure I would have put antidepressants and Jesus in the same sentence about ten years ago. I really wish I would have honestly considered how those two could beautifully coexist in my own life. I had seen both Jesus and antidepressants working in other people's lives. But for my life? I didn't have ears to hear.

Whether you have a big presentation or you are gluing googly eyeballs to popsicle sticks, we simply want to feel good. Feeling good doesn’t mean polished, done-up, and squeaky clean. It means confident and healthy.

As I choose a quiet moment in my morning instead of a chaotic social media binge, I am choosing a calm soul. As I choose to come to God first instead of texting all my friends all my worries, I am choosing a calm soul. 

Capes. I didn't get one. But some things in this world wear one. They come from Jesus and they wear capes and they help my life.  And it's summer and all my people are home and I am banking on these heroes.
