Today we’re in beautiful Psalm 19 where we’ll remember together that God set revelation in the heavens that is pouring out promise over us day and night, night and day!

Today I’m going to tell you about some home renovations that Nate and I have embarked on this summer, just to let you in on a little bit of our world and the DIY adventures that we find ourselves swimming in!

In celebration of my husband Nathan’s brand new album “Everywhere the River Goes” (available anywhere you listen to music!) we’re going to talk about this River and the beauty of staying within the River’s reach all the days of our lives! In fact, we’ll use the song titles to give us a grid for what this River’s work looks like in us and through us.

Last week we talked about a holy resolve, when we have a shift in perspective upon remembering what is TRUE about God, about ourselves and the world around us. This week we’re going to sit in a bit of a holy tension together in Psalm 88, which is a passage that’s not easy to get comfy in!

I’m SO THRILLED that the SUMMER IN THE PSALMS series is back! I have needed this in my own life!! The lazy days of summer can be wonderful, but I find that it’s easy to drift from my rhythm of staying grounded in truth if I’m not careful. I hope this series meets you right on time in the same way!

Today you are going to get to hear some REALLY fun behind-the-scenes-stories from my new album “This is the Hour,” particularly from the adventure that was the photo shoot for this album! Even the little trick behind getting my hair to look “ablaze” in the wind for the cover of the song Valor! I had so much fun remembering the details of such a wonderful day, can’t wait to tell you all about it! !

This song rose up in me in a season where I began to realize that the hardships, the pain, and what felt like relentless trials were not for nothing. In fact, they would afford me something that nothing in this world could offer me. My bravest step in that season would be surrendering, yielding once again to a sovereign God. Moving toward Him, my true relief in this life!

VALOR // This beautiful word… I’ve come to embrace it like a friend. It’s a personal bravery that is directly tied to, even flows out of our very identity as the Beloved of God.

Today we’re going to keep leaning into the posture and perspective that God’s presence has always been His ultimate plan for His people, that we might flourish and even cause the world around us to flourish too!
