4:92 – Good Friday, Redux #faithbites #faithjourney friday Setting Yesterday, we explained why Maundy, not Monday, Thursday is celebrated. Today, we will revisit and revise the #faithbites from April 10, 2020, which discussed why we call Good Friday, Good.

4:85 – Papa God #faithbites #faithjourney papa Setting Some days, ideas for #faithbites come easy, other days I struggle, and still others I just google a verse of the day and see what God wants me to see.

4:83 – You Have Nothing To Prove! God Loves You #faithbites #faithjourney prove Setting Recently I’ve written about apologizing too much or trying to fit in too hard.

4:76 – Let’s Have A Conversation #faithbites #faithjourney conversation Setting I have fond memories of my first two years of college. Several nights were spent deep in religious and political conversation with my floormates. We all came from different religions, sects, political backgrounds, and a few from different countries. While we didn’t agree on many things, we had great conversations. […]
4:75 – Start Right Here #faithbites #faithjourney start Setting I often wonder what tomorrow is going to bring. Am I living the way God wants? Am I doing what I should be?

4:68 – God Said It, I Believe It #faithbites #faithjourney believe Setting It’s been a couple of rough days. Pain, stress, and just a general lack of feeling good.

4:55 – Sing It, Feel It #faithbites #faithjourney feel Setting Today my eldest’s class presented the chapel message for her school. I struggled during the beginning to stay focused watching it online and not multitask. The first song was Lord I Lift Your Name On High, by MercyMe. I started just looking at the words on the screen and wasn’t […]
