"One way God has consistently guided me is through a Word of the Year. After I reflect on the twelve months behind me, I ask God what He wants me to know about the twelve months ahead. I ask God other questions like:

• What do You want me to focus on this year?
• What promise do You want me to cling to?
• How do you want to grow me to become more like You, Jesus?
• Where are you working, Lord, and how can I partner with You?
• Is there a specific word or phrase that You want to use to guide my year?"

"Rest is a gift that you can give your body and your spirit. Rest doesn't need to be earned, but you do need to permit yourself to take it without guilt. As a get-it-done woman, I'm committed to rest on this day after Christmas to remember all God has done this season. Who's with me?"

"We’re thanking God for His radical, creative love in sending the gift of Savior, born a baby named Jesus, to walk among us as Emmanuel. May we never get over the wonder. Merry Christmas, friends, from all of us here at (in)courage!"

"May we be a people who revel in the simplicity of Christmas, who simply lay out the welcome mat before the door of our hearts and leave room for the unexpected. And may we believe God capably brims our gaps more than we ever imagined."

"For just a tick-tock of time, the night will have its moment. But it’s only that, a wildly brief moment within eternity, and the man of sorrows is familiar with the shadows. There is no darkness too dark and no moment too much for Him, and so we really can dare to sing “joy to the world” in a long, silent night."

"At Christmastime, and at all times, we believe and bear witness to the truth that Jesus makes glorious the impossible gloom. Through song and deed, we declare that Jesus makes miraculous the mundane and saves the wretched sinner. We repeat and repeat the sounding joy — that Jesus restores that which is beyond repair and makes divine even the darkest night."

"But here’s the good news: The best story — the truest story — reminds us that the Maker of Heaven and Earth bent time to be near us, to dwell with us, to bring light into the dark corners of our lives. Jesus is the message from our God, who doesn’t require perfection but longs to meet us in the mess. The miracle of Advent invites us to let go of striving and be held by the One who catches every tear, knows every imperfect part we try to hide, and calls us beloved."
