Day 19: Building Victory Daily My 5K dream lives in daily wins—fewer steps some days, but forward. Galatians 6:9 (ESV) urges, “…not grow weary of doing good…” Every effort counts—God sees.  What’s your win today?  Stack them—small builds big.  Consistency’s quiet power transforms. Every walk, jog, and run is a brick—the finish line gets aContinue reading “Stacking Stones Devotional”

Kids trust, learn, love without pretense—God wants that in us.  We’ve all shown pride, seeking credit—that isContinue reading “Stacking Stones Devotional”

Day 15: Growth in the Unease Change stings—like leaving warm blankets in Iowa’s winter chill.  But growth hides there. 2 Corinthians 12:9 (ESV) promises, “My grace is sufficient…” I’ve dreaded change—new jobs, goals like that 5K—yet they’ve stretched me. Embrace the unease; it’s God’s refining fire. What’s uncomfortable now? I’ve stayed cozy, avoiding risk—stagnation creptContinue reading “Stacking Stones Devotional”
