Monday Mission - Beauty in Every Season

Does this image look like what you've been facing lately? For many of us in the Midwest we've literally been facing lots of snow covered roads this winter. Straining our eyes to find the road or looking for a car ahead to show us the way. Wishing our tires were gripping a little tighter to the pavement but prevented by the barrier of ice and snow.

Monday Mission - Happy New Thoughts!

Monday Mission - Seek Community

I'm in a book club with some girlfriends and we're reading "Find Your People" by Jennie Allen. We're a bunch of gals who love friends, but needed a new perspective and tips on how to find and develop close community within our physical proximity of town.

Monday Mission - Joy in the Lord

It's difficult to have Joy in the Lord when there's so much chaos and turmoil. I sometimes wonder if God is even in charge. But God commands us to be joyful and glad in all circumstances.

Monday Mission – Rejoice Always

In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Paul gave 3 actions we are called to live out that will help us follow the will of God instead of the way of the world. “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus”. Today we are going to begin by looking at the command to "Rejoice Always".
