#52- You're Not Alone In This: Choosing To Remember

Life is a mixed bag of lovely and lonely. Unless I choose *what* I remember, it’s easy for me to forget God’s consistent, persistent Presence. Oh yes, it’s easy to think I’m all alone, fending for me, myself, and I in a great big world. That’s why I choose to remember. So, grab your leftover birthday cake for breakfast (no judgement) and join me. Let’s chat about Psalm 78 as we reflect back.

Here’s a small excerpt: “No matter the circumstance, problem, or insecurity, GOD MAKES UP THE DIFFERENCE. He meets me where I’m lacking, bringing just the right people or just the right info right when it’s needed most. Why? Because I’m not alone in this…and neither are you.”

TOP TEN REPLAY! Question Beneath the Question: What We're Really Asking

A Glordinary Birthday Celebration! Enjoy this Top Ten Replay! 
We all face questions throughout our lives related to uncertainty, transition, and loss. But how often are we asking the deeper questions, the real questions? Join me as I share a vulnerable conversation from Luke 8. 
www.glordinary.com
"It was the first time in my life You led me to ask the question beneath the question. So, now 12 years later, what question am I really asking this time? 'Am I valuable enough to fix this? Do I warrant this level of care? Am I worth it?'"

TOP TEN REPLAY! Personal Post-It: Reminders For What We Forget

A Glordinary Birthday Celebration! Enjoy this Top Ten Replay! 
Do you forget things? Tell me I'm not alone. It can't be just me struggling to remember all.the.things! 
Here's the bad news: I think it gets worse as we age. The good news: it's not all on us to remember everything. Join me as we take the pressure off with an encouraging look at John 14:26.

"Remind me that You are a “with me” God, actively involved in my life. Remind me that You delight in me; I’m valuable because I’m made in your image, on purpose for a purpose. Remind me Your Truth does not lead astray...ever."

#51- I'm Glad You're Here: Welcoming Yourself

Change isn’t always fun. Constant, yes. Awesome, not always.  Learning to welcome changing seasons (and how we show up in them) is a whole thing! And spoiler alert, this one’s gonna be real and raw. Let’s take a page from Luke 15 about how to welcome like the Father.
www.glordinary.com
Here’s a small excerpt: “It was about saying welcome to this season of life and welcome to how I was showing up in it. It was about acknowledging the changes, even the not so fun ones. It was about appreciating the good things that will come because God is always at His work, and He’s working for good. Welcome to all the ways life looks different today, the ways I look different. Welcome.”

TOP TEN REPLAY! Inner Compass: Navigating Life's Decisions

A Glordinary Birthday Celebration! Enjoy this Top Ten Replay! 
Decisions, decisions. They exhaust me at times. You too? Whether you're feeling decision fatigue or wrestling with which decision to make, you're in the right place. Join Stacy as she pulls in helpful tools for your decision-making process from 1 Chronicles 4. 
www.glordinary.com
"But when it is within my power to choose, those three questions:
-Is it spacious? Is it peaceful? Is it quiet?-
they became a litmus test for my soul each time I faced an obstacle of opportunity. What’s more is they became an inner compass when anything seemed a little off, overwhelming, or lacking clarity."

TOP TEN REPLAY! Simple, Sustainable, Stacy: When Life Wears You Out

A Glordinary Birthday Celebration! Enjoy this Top Ten Replay!
Are you juggling too much? Is there more life than minutes each day? Yep, I hear you.
Whether by choice or demand, Stacy offers some day-brightening encouragement on sustainable living as she explores Exodus 18. 
www.glordinary.com
"It’s.just.too.much. This isn’t sustainable. You’ll wear yourself out. You can’t do this alone. Jethro goes beyond pointing out the obvious from the outside looking in; he sets out a step-by-step plan for Moses, advising him how to lighten the load with other people, to “spread the wealth” so to speak."

#50- A Glordinary Life: From Couch to Podcast

Bring on the cake and blow out the candle. Glordinary’s turning ONE! It’s been 52 weeks together. I wasn’t always sure we’d get here. I wasn’t even sure we’d start. After several difficult situations, my communication confidence was severely impacted. I felt stunted in my ability to move on...until a helpful conversation with a friend and Matthew 19. This is the story of how I got from the couch to the podcast. 
www.glordinary.com
Here’s a small excerpt: “Maybe the Glordinary podcast will be great. Maybe it’ll be so-so, but it’s worth doing even poorly if the alternative is not doing it at all. Because Friends, it’s not about being successful. It’s about being faithful. One Glordinary day at a time.”

TOP TEN REPLAY! Found: When Jesus Looks For You

A Glordinary Birthday Celebration! Enjoy this Top Ten Replay! 
With all of life’s twists and turns, it’s easy to feel forgotten and a bit lost along the way, right? Even the whirlwind of schedules and details can leave us left in the dust…feeling unseen, unheard, and unwelcome. Raise your hand if you can relate? Me too.
Let Stacy encourage you today with a peek into John 9 as Jesus goes looking for the unseen, unheard, and unwelcome. 
www.glordinary.com
Here’s a small excerpt:"Unseen. Unheard. Unwelcome. Except that he wasn’t. After the whole healing spit showdown, Jesus hears the man is thrown out, excommunicated. So, Jesus went looking for him. Hard stop. He.went.looking.for.him.”

TOP TEN REPLAY! Green Where You Water It: Ditching the Comparison Trap

A Glordinary Birthday Celebration! Enjoy this Top Ten Replay!
It’s unofficially summer, and I’m loving all the green! My allergies? Not so much! I’ve noticed another green growing this season- the ‘ole green-eyed monster of envy. Yes, it’s easy to spot all the trips and toys people buy. If I’m honest, that green-eyed monster can scream and throw quite the tantrum. Hmm…Comparison can creep into any of our hearts. Join Stacy for a look at Exodus 20 as we chat through what “The Big Ten” have to say about envy.
www.glordinary.comHere’s a small excerpt:"When I began practicing the art of abundance in this way, it opened my eyes and heart to appreciate my own grass, so to speak, and celebrate my neighbor’s. It helped me see my world, my grass, as it is, not as I think it “should be” or what I’m entitled to.”
