Today we're taking a step back and considering just what we're building, as we consider our faith lives and our post-COVID lives. Here are some resources I hope will help as you consider this question for yourselves. Connect with me on Instagram or on my blog to engage with me on this topic.
1. Bob Vila explains what a plumb line is and what it's for (for those of you who, like me, did not previously know).
2. Please listen to this one all the way to the end. Song: The Clearing, by Amanda Lindsey Cook
3. Mini-pilgrimage: go to a beach, a forest, a church, or some other holy place all by yourself. Let God speak to you there (maybe through journaling or in silence) about what you should keep, what you should leave behind, and what knowledge or wisdom you can carry with you from this last year.
4. Praying this one over all of us: Song: Rainbow, by Kacey Musgraves
5. The Next Right Thing, by Emily P. Freeman - companion journal is also available
6. Podcast: The Next Right Thing with Emily P. Freeman I love every episode, but Receive A New Beginning would make a great first episode for you. Minute 5:10 to the end is my favorite three minutes of any podcast ever.
7. Song: Better Boat, by Kenny Chesney & Mindy Smith
8. A Rhythm of Prayer: A Collection of Meditations for Renewal, edited by Sarah Bessey
