How to Do-Good

Quick How-To Guide: Start the day with a little silence, scripture (via Forward Day by Day, if you choose) and prayer. Then open your eyes and make it a practice to be hyper-aware of who and what's going on around you. Deploy that deed with confidence when God gives you his signature gentle nudge. This may feel awkward and unnatural. #NoWorries #GoWithIt #DeedWellDone #BlessingsEnsueJustWait

Day 180

Scripture: Ps 93, 96; 1 Kings 18:1-19; Philippians 2:12-30; Matthew 2:13-23


Scripture standout: Phillipians 2: "13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose."


Morning thoughts: In me? Even in this mom who is still trying to get her act together this school year? Even this mom, who scheduled a dentist appointment on the same day Ben was going on a school trip — and had to be reminded of the overlap...BY HER SON? Even me? The mom who forgot to circle back on a debt...TO A BOY SCOUT? This grumpussing old mother who fed her frozen bread pizza last night that had been in the freezer for a long, long while? Don't I wish it was possible to see the good purpose that comes out of soooooo many fumbles.

His Deed/The Day: After a delightful...and cool...early morning run, I spied a tall boy beer can on the side of the road. I strode past it. But the urge came! It told me to grab that nasty, empty, tall boy and throw that puppy away. So I did.
