December 21st. Winter solstice. The darkest day of the year.
Every day of the fall has been getting darker towards today.
But tomorrow?
It starts getting lighter. In tiny tiny increments. But light is coming. It doesn't get any darker than today.
Light is coming.

I think something good is going to come out of this season. If you asked me to prove it to you, I couldn't. Not yet anyway. I don't have evidence. All I have is faith, this small, barely there at times, glimmer of belief. But that's more than enough for today.
Helps to remember the objective:
We’re staying in

All our hard todays

Here’s just a friendly reminder: someone you love will get the virus. Maybe even you. There is NO SHAME in that. I keep hearing whispers of people embarrassed they may have been exposed or may be getting sick. Shame sucks. Don’t listen to it.
@JeffersonBethke So thankful for this today! I’ve been on Maternity Leave myself and haven’t been able to keep up with the podcast! Thank you, @alyssajoybethke for always being so honest and encouraging❤️
It’s the first day of Spring. And if you trust God uses the physical to remind us of what He does in the spiritual, a new season starts for you and your heart today, too.
Something beautiful spent the winter buried... but today it starts to bloom. Yes and amen.
“Here’s what I’ve learned through it all:
Don’t give up, don’t be impatient,
Be entwined as one with the Lord.
Be brave, courageous, and never lose hope.
Yes, keep on waiting-
For He will never disappoint you!”
Psalm 27:14
