Soul Food When You’re Not Sure What You Feel

I can’t begin to understand what you’re is feeling during this uncertain time. There are so many variables and different challenges and blessings.

For me, some days I feel inspired by the goodness of my fellow humans and I’m full of creative energy trying to figure out new ways to encourage and serve.

But other days I’m overwhelmed with sadness for small businesses, and frontline workers, and the elderly and those around the world who even before Covid_19 were struggling to find enough food to eat.

This week I’ve been reading a book I highly recommend on lament. It’s called No More Faking Fine. Esther Fleece weaves the story of her painful past with her discovery of God’s invitation to lament and the intimacy that comes with it.

This video makes me think of the biblical pattern of the year of Jubilee from Leviticus 25 – letting the land rest.

Here’s a great idea and resource for parents!

If you’re not dead, you’re not done! This 99-year-old is trying to complete 100 laps of his garden ahead of his 100th birthday to raise money for health care in Britain.

Lastly, some posts from Instagram to make you smile.

That’s it for me! What’s feeding your soul this week?
