Pressed for time? Frustrated when things don’t go according to plan? Need to fit in one more thing? Time can often feel like something we have to beat or make the most of! Our love-hate relationship with time is unavoidable. Whether we have just enough time or feel like it’s moving too slow, it can be a struggle to be at peace with schedules and clocks and the notion that “time is ticking.”
What if we nurtured and improved our relationship with time? What if we recognized calm and peaceful thoughts throughout each day? What if we restructured our relationship with time and adopted God’s view? From His perspective, our heavenly Father invites us to celebrate each day, each hour, and every minute as a gift!
For anyone trying to make the most of their time, Meredith Barnes explores God’s Word and how biblical themes relate to our personal sense of time. As a mother of three young boys, Meredith understands what a precious commodity time is–with her family, herself, her friends, and most importantly her Savior!
Within the pages of Every Day Holy, readers are encouraged to examine their own use of time and discover God’s desire for us to rest in His plan.
By spending time in the presence of God with the thoughtful devotions in Every Day Holy, you will enjoy:
*60 daily devotions that thoughtfully touch on anxiety, perfectionism, brokenness, finding worth, and self-care

Everyday Annunciations : On Learning To Say Yes
$22.25Add to cartA spiritual guidebook and memoir for navigating life’s challenges, with a call to trust in God’s grace and say “yes.”
How are we to understand the surprises life brings, the events and upsets that challenge what we believe about ourselves and our purpose? In Everyday Annunciations, Susan Swetnam encourages readers to imagine how their own upheavals might function as “everyday annunciations”–invitations to partner creatively with God in new ways.
Reflecting on six Renaissance paintings depicting Mary’s response to her own annunciation, Swetnam unflinchingly acknowledges the difficulty of regrouping when life changes radically. Drawing on Mary’s example, wisdom figures both historical and contemporary, Scripture, and powerful personal narrative, Everyday Annunciations offers constructive hope for those struggling to find a way forward when life catches them by surprise.
