You’re Not That Special

Inspired by J. Augustine Wetta’s book “Humility Rules,” we’re embarking on a new series to unpack a lifestyle of humility and the treasure of embracing this particularly counter cultural virtue. Book-https://www.amazon.com/Humility-Rules-Benedicts-Twelve-Step-Self-Esteem/dp/162164149X/ref=nodl_

“In most discussions, each man has some point to maintain and his object is to justify his own thesis and disprove his neighbors. He may have originally adopted his thesis because of some sign of truth in it, but his mode of supporting it is generally to block up every cranny in his soul at which more truth might enter.”

-George MacDonald

“Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less.”

-C.S. Lewis

Our homes are precious, the very tangible examples of our forever homes in eternity. Among the daily practical tasks that must take place, the home is hinting forward to the end of our earthly race and the new beginning of life itself. Join us for our final discussion in the home series!

Whether it’s a well-loved garden, a front stoop, or even a back windowsill, the outdoor scenes of our lives yield much for beauty, truth, and edification. Join us for a conversation about the magical and ever changing space that is the outdoors.

What do most of us long for in a bedroom? A place for rest, ideally a clean, beautiful space. As much as we try and desire the bedroom to be restful, we all know too well how the bedroom often becomes the laundry room. Why is that? The bedroom is also a place we maybe wish to sleep, but don’t always get it. We’re talking all about this sacred space-the functions and the functions of our hearts when we need Christ for rest and sanctuary.

Taken quite literally-this is the room for living! We’re sharing our couch testimonies (how just the right couch came into each of our lives), how God cares about where we live, and what a living room might look like in different seasons.

First room in the home series! Because we are discussing the home-it’s importance both practically and the deeper spiritual implications, it seemed only appropriate to start with the heart of the home. Welcome to the kitchen. Links: https://instagram.com/everyday_mamas?igshid=rckzezotv11n

It’s the place we eat, drink, and sleep, but it’s also the place we celebrate, apologize, and make room. These potentially restorative places have suffered the neglect and idealism of generations. Let’s put home in her proper place and learn what the Lord would like to teach us about Himself as we lean into these sacred spaces.

It sure is Comfortable. Complaining may not seem like a life sucker, but it truly is. The opposite is also true-thanksgiving literally restores us to the full and faithful life God desires for us, and if that wasn’t incentive enough, it brings us into deeper connection with Himself. We’ve got a lot of experience in this area...the complaining part we mean. Buckle up, we’re ready for a change!

We’re talking about real life: the kids, the family, the tired days, and how we get through it all.
